Emergencies
In an emergency you should contact 999. The emergency service is for use when an immediate response is required. You should use this service if a crime is happening now or if anyone is in immediate danger. If that is not the case than see advice below for non emergency situations.
The 999 system handles calls for the fire brigade and ambulance services so be clear to say which service you need.
