Emergencies
Remember, in an emergency always call 999. This is when you need an immediate response because
- a crime is in progress
- someone suspected of a crime is nearby
- there is danger to life
- violence is being used or threatened.
More than half of the 999 calls we receive do not relate to an emergency and could potentially delay police response to an urgent situation elsewhere.
Please use common sense. If your situation doesn't require immediate police action although it's nevertheless important, do consider other ways of contacting us - we want to hear from you and assist you in any way we can.
