Residents can also phone 101 from the convenience of their own home for all non-emergency police matters such as reporting a crime, obtaining advice and information, or finding out about beat surgeries or other police events in their area. 101 is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week; and calls from landlines or mobile networks cost 15 pence per call, no matter what time of day or how long you are on the phone.
Through phoning 101, residents will also be able to arrange a visit by an officer at a mutually convenient time and place.
Local Safer Neighbourhoods teams will remain based at the heart of the communities they serve and will continue to be available at beat surgeries and community meetings.
