The sporadic problems with 911 across the state have been resolved, according to Connecticut State Police.

Several towns reported partial 911 outages on Monday.

State Police said they received reports that the outage may be tied to a Comcast outage affecting parts of New England. The outage affected Comcast Voice Over IP phone customers, not mobile devices.

They worked with the carrier on the issue and as of 5 a.m. Tuesday morning all issues have been taken care of.

Officials from the state Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection said the preliminary information is that one of the carriers was attempting an update that might have initiated the disruption.

State Police said in an emergency, first try dialing 911.
