Police 101 Service

 

 

101 is the number to call

when you want to contact your local police

when it’s less urgent than a 999 call.

101 is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

101 has been introduced as part of the government's wider work to improve access to the police, ease pressure on 999, and help to efficiently and effectively tackle crime and disorder.

 

You should call 101 to report crime and other concerns that do not require an emergency response.

For example, you should call 101 if:

• your car has been stolen

• your property has been damaged

• you suspect drug use or dealing in your neighbourhood

Or to:

• report a minor traffic collision

• give the police information about crime in your area

• speak to the police about a general enquiry

You should continue to call 999 when it is an emergency, such as when a crime is in progress, someone suspected of a crime is nearby, when there is danger to life or when violence is being used or threatened. To contact the police for any other reason, call 101.
