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.
