WHAT THE POLICE ASKS OF YOU
- Report incidents to the police as soon as possible. Time is of the essence.
- Do not hesitate to call the police for fear that you are “inconveniencing them” or that they “have better, more important things to be looking after.” The police are here to help you, and they take all calls seriously and record the information.
- Do not assume that someone else has called the police regarding an incident. It is preferred to have multiple calls over no calls at all.
- Please follow the instructions given to you by the call-taker/dispatcher. These instructions are being given to you to keep you safe until help arrives.
