YCSO Mistakenly Sends Out Alert for Mountain Lions in Cordes Lake

5/10/23

A Yavapai County dispatcher made a mistake last week while testing a new emergency notification system. 

Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Kristin Greene says the dispatcher was doing a test around midnight a week ago and sent the false alert to around 700 residents:

***A follow-up message let residents know there was no mountain lion activity in Cordes Lake.
