You can search for phone numbers tied to the Mayor's office, police, fire, courts, and the City-County Council. The main city line is 317-327-3601, and most departments sit at 200 E. Washington Street. This page walks you through every key contact in the Indianapolis phone directory and shows you how to get records by phone, online, or in person.
