101 Non-Emergency Number

A 101 non-emergency number is a phone number you can call if you need help from the police, but it is not an emergency. This number might be used if you have questions about crime prevention, need to report a crime or anti-social behaviour such as vandalism or harassment. When you call the 101 non-emergency number, a police officer will answer and help you decide what to do next.
