Community Notice: 101 - The New Non-Emergency Police Telephone Number
Thames Valley Police, along with other police forces across the country, have introduced a new non-emergency telephone number:
101
.
The new 101 number will run alongside the existing 0845 8 505 505 number until the end of March 2012 when the old number will be phased out.
Calls to 101 (from both landlines and mobiles) cost 15 pence per call no matter what time of day you call, or how long you are on the phone.
What you can report using 101

if your car has been stolen

if you suspect drug use or dealing in your local area
to report a minor traffic accident
to give the police information about crime in your area
