Call 999 if:

• a serious offence is in progress or has just been committed
• someone is in immediate danger or harm
• property is in danger of being damaged
• a serious disruption to the public is likely

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.

If English is not your first language, we use a language line service so a translator can speak to the operator on your behalf.

British Sign Language (BSL) users please use our video relay service where an interpreter will help you report the crime to us.
