New Non-Emergency Number 101
The 101 new non-emergency number went live on 23rd November 2011
and provides the public with a memorable number to report crime and
other concerns that do not require an emergency response such
as:
- if their car has been stolen;
- if their property has been damaged or vandalised;
- where they suspect drug use or dealing;
- if they want to report a minor traffic collision;
- if they want to provide information about crime
The introduction of ‘101′ is part of a national programme to
make it easier for members of the public to contact police in a
non-emergency, where an immediate police response is not required.
From the 23rd November ‘101′ replaced the force’s current
non-emergency number 0845 458 0000
Calls to the 101 non-emergency number will cost 15 pence
for the entire call, no matter how long the call or what
time of day it is. This applies to both land lines and
mobile phones.
Regards,
Inspector Keith Curbishley
