Portland officials are hoping nonemergency phone lines at the city's police department will be restored.

The line went down as of 5 p.m. Friday, according to city manager Randy Wright.

He said it's unclear what caused the problem, but Verizon was working to fix the issue Friday night.

The police department's emergency line was unaffected, Wright said.
