Attention Batesville Community:

Due to the overwhelming spam calls our non-emergent line (662-563-5653) has been receiving, we have reenabled our automated option menu. Your safety is our top priority and with the amount of spam calls we were receiving, they were tying up our phone lines making it hard for your calls to come through. We understand that this can frustrate some, but this is the best option we have to answer your calls quicker. Going forward when you call our non-emergent line you will need to hit 0 to connect to the dispatcher. Again we are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
