- From 18.10.11" Instead of ringing the current switchboard number of 0845 456 4567, people should dial 101.
- "Everyone knows to ring 999 in an emergency"
18th October 2011 - A new way to contact your POLICE.
Norfolk Constabulary has introduced a new telephone number for people who want to talk to the police about non-urgent issues.
Instead of ringing the current switchboard number of 0845 456 4567, people should dial 101.
The introduction of 101 in Norfolk is part of a nationwide initiatlve which will see all forces adopting the number by the end of the year.
It is designed to offer one easy way to contact your local police force to report non-emergency crimes, disorder or anti-social behaviour or to speak to your local police officers.
Assistant Chief Constable Kevin Wilkins said: "Everyone knows to ring 999 in an emergency" - but research shows that only half of the public know how to contact their local police if they want to talk to them about less urgent issues.
The introduction of an easy-to-remember, three-digit number should help address this. By the end of the year, people will be able to use 101 to contact their local police force's non-emergency service, wherever they are in England and Wales.
It is also hoped that the introduction of 101 will help divert more non-urgent calls away from the 999 system, freeing up call handlers to deal with genuine emergencies.
- The new number should be used to report issues which don't require an emergency response. For example, people should ring 101 if:
- their vehicle has been stolen;
- their property has been damaged;
- they suspect drug use or dealing;
- if they want to give the police information about crime in their area; or
- if they would like to speak to a local police officer.
101 will be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. When calling 101, the system determines the caller's location and connects them to the police force covering that area.
A recorded message announces which police force the caller is being connected to - and gives them a choice if they are on a boundary between two or more forces.
Police call handlers in the local force contact centre will then answer the call and respond appropriately.
There is also an option of speaking to an operator, if the caller wishes to contact another force.
Calls from landlines and mobile networks cost 15 pence per call, no matter what time of day or the duration of the call.
People who are deaf, hard of hearing or speech impaired can textphone 18001 101.
The new 101 service is not for emergencies. In an emergency, people should always ring 999 for immediate police assistance. An emergency is where:
- life is in danger
- a serious offence is in progress
- a suspect is at a scene
- an alleged offender is identified at any location
- there is an imminent likelihood of violence/damage to a person's property
- there is a serious road traffic collision
About Home Watch
Norfolk is one of the safest places to live in the country, with a very low crime rate. Norfolk Constabulary is committed to continuing to reduce crime, anti-social behaviour and the fear of crime throughout the county. However, the police cannot fight crime and address quality-of-life issues on their own; they need the help of the whole community.
Home Watch provides a way for local people to play an important part in making their communities safer and reducing crime.
Norfolk Home Watch Association in partnership with Norfolk Constabulary has prepared this introductory guide for people who are considering setting up a new scheme where they live and wish to find out a little more about Home Watch.
The guide sets out the objectives of Home Watch, it briefly explains what membership involves, whilst outlining the role of the Co-ordinator and explains what to do next if you want to start a scheme in your neighbourhood.
