New non-emergency number for South Yorkshire Police
From the 4th November 2011 you can contact South Yorkshire Police by phoning 101, the new non-emergency number.
The new number will replace our 0114 2202020 non-emergency number which will eventually be phased out, although we will also keep this number available for the time being.
We have introduced this simple number to make it easier for you to contact South Yorkshire Police and report non-urgent crime and issues.
When should you call 101?
To report less urgent crime or disorder and for general police enquiries. For example:
- if your car has been stolen;
- if your property has been damaged;
- when you suspect drug use or drug dealing;
- to report a minor traffic collision;
- to make us aware of policing issues in your area; or
- for any other general enquiries
Using 101 for situations, that do not require an immediate police response (such as those outlined above) helps keep 999 available for when there is an emergency.
If you are deaf, hard of hearing or speech impaired, you can textphone us on 18001 101 or 0114 2523294 or send and SMS to 07786220022.
In an emergency - when life is in danger or there is a crime in progess you should ALWAYS call 999.
