What should we do in case of emergency?

What is emergency? What is not?

Police, fire and ambulance services: who to call and what to say in an emergency or non-emergency situation...

Call 999 only in an emergency. Do the following:

• Give a clear description of the nature of the emergency

• Give your name, telephone number and the location of the emergency

• Stay on the phone; do not hang up

The police guarantee to answer a 999 call within 10 seconds and in urgent cases be on the scene within 15 minutes. For non-emergency matters, use the police hotline or contact the relevant Neighbourhood Police Centre.
