Known issues
Callers sometimes face long wait times, particularly during peak hours or major incidents. To mitigate this, consider calling during off-peak times or using the online reporting form. Accessibility for hearing-impaired users can be challenging outside the British Sign Language service hours. It's recommended to use text phone services or the InterpretorNow Service when available. For emergencies, always dial 999. For non-emergencies, the 101 number or online form is preferred. Having all relevant details ready can expedite your call and ensure a smoother process.
