101 - The national non-emergency Police Number
The national non-emergency number 101 is coming to North Yorkshire Police on 12 December and it will replace our local 0845 60 60 24 7 number.
While 999 is a well-recognised number used to report emergencies, the 2010 British Crime Survey found that only 54% of the public know how to contact their local police if they wanted to talk to them about policing, crime or anti-social behaviour.
The introduction of the 101 number will offer the public one easy way to contact their local police force.
The benefits of this new number include:
- Calls from landlines and mobile networks cost 15 pence per call, no matter what time of day you call or how long you are on the phone.
- 101 is available 24 hours a day
- When you call 101, you will be able to speak to the force control room at York via the automated switchboard
- When you call 101, we will act on the information we receive
- Calling 101 will not result in your call receiving a lower priority than if you had called 999 about a non-emergency issue
- Deaf, hard of hearing or speech impaired callers can access the service via textphone on 18001 101
