Report an emergency

Calling 999

Call 999 if...

there is a danger to life or risk of injury being caused, such as a serious road accident or assault
a crime is in progress, such as a robbery, burglary or theft, and the offender is still on the scene or has only just left the area
the immediate attendance of a police officer is necessary - such as where someone is acting suspiciously and obviously about to commit a crime.

If you are calling 999 from a mobile phone, your call may be answered by a police operator in another part of the country due to the different base stations used by phone companies. Tell the operator immediately where you are phoning from so that your call is dealt with by the appropriate police force.
