- 101
WHEREVER YOU ARE
You can now contact Norfolk Constabulary for no-urgent issues
by simply dialling 101. The new 101 non-emergancy number is
now live across all police areas in England and Wales.
This means that for the first time, the public have ne easy
to remember number to contact their local police force to report
non-emergency crime and anti-social behaviour or to speak to
a local officer.
When someone calls 101, the system determines the caller's location
and connects them to the police force covering that area. They
hear a recorded message announcing which police force they are
being connected to.
If
a caller is close to a boundary between two or more forces,
and they are using a mobile telephone, the recorded message
gives them a choice of neighbouring forces. If the force they
require is not on the list, they can speak to an operator who
will redirect them.
Calls from landlines and mobile networks cost just 15p, no matter
what time of day, or how long the call is.
Deaf, hard-of-hearing or speech-impaired callers can access
the service via textphone on 18001 101. In an emergency, callers should always dial 999.
