When should I call 111?

111 is the number for emergencies. Call 111 and ask for Police when:

Someone is badly injured or in danger;
There's a serious risk to life or property;
A crime is being committed and the offenders are still there or have just left;
You've come across a major public inconvenience, like trees blocking a road;
It's happening now or has just happened.

If you can't decide whether it's a real emergency and you're still worried, call 111 and ask. We'll help you work out what to do.
