Neighbourhood Watch – New police non-emergency telephone number 101
999 should always be used in an emergency when a crime is taking place or when a person is in immediate danger.
101 is to be used when people simply want to talk to a local police officer or for other non-emergencies including reporting:-
a stolen car
damage to property
suspected drug use or dealing
theft of a mobile phone
a minor traffic collision, or
giving police information about crime in their area
If you have a hearing or speech impairment a text phone is available on 18001 101, but note this is only for Text Direct/Type Talk customers and not SMS
101 is available 24/7 and will cost 15p per call on all landlines and mobile phones irrespective of how long the call may last.
The existing 0300 number will be gradually phased-out before being turned off completely on Monday 9 January 2012.
The overall aim of 101 is to improve access to police non-emergency services which should improve reporting of crime and ease the pressure on 999.

It is recommended you take a look at the following bona fide web site that gives details of many such scams. The web site is free and regularly up dated and is well worth a visit. Scams are broken down into various sections and are easily navigated.
