We’re here if you need us

Telephone

• Call 999 in an emergency or when someone is in immediate danger. 

• In non-emergency situations call 101 or get in touch with us online.

If you’re in danger and can’t speak, you can still call 999 in an emergency. Press 55 when prompted to confirm it’s an emergency and you’ll be connected to the police.

If you have a hearing or speech impairment, use our textphone service 18000 or text us on 999 if you’ve pre-registered with the emergencySMS service. Learn more about contacting 999 using relay UK.
