Known issues
While the Security Centre at Dundee may occasionally be unmanned if staff are responding to serious incidents, the phone line remains operational 24/7. Callers are advised to use the designated emergency number, as this ensures that assistance can still be dispatched quickly even if no one is physically present at the Centre. For non-urgent matters, contacting during less busy periods might lead to faster service. If you're reporting a lost item, providing a thorough description and last known location will facilitate the process. In emergencies, remain calm and provide clear details to the responding officer.
