311 IS A TOOL USED TO

IMPROVE CUSTOMER SERVICE BY ENHANCING

THE WAY CITIZENS

INTERACT WITH

THE CITY.When we talk about 311, we mean something

more than just a phone number. It is a tool for

the people of Denver to access the City quickly

and easily.

311 not only improves customer service and

safety, but it allows the City to put more

accountability in place, allowing us to hold a

light up to our processes and see where and

how we can continually improve for everyone.

OUR MISSIONOUR MISSION

The Denver 311 Customer Service Center

is a comprehensive one-stop resource for

anyone seeking information or help

regarding services provided by the City

and County of Denver. With the mission to

improve customer service and improve safety

(helping alleviate non-emergency calls from 911),

311 establishes a perfect foundation for Denver

City government to continually improve. Using

311 in Denver will allow access to City services

– no more sorting through more than 800 Denver

listings in the phonebook. The 311 system has

three objectives: better customer

service, greater effi ciency, and fewer

non-emergency calls to 911.
