Police
Call 999 if someone is in immediate danger. Call 101 at all other times.
Report online at www.met.police.uk/ro/report/ocr/how-to-report-a-crime/
How do you call the police on 999 when you can't speak?
When you phone 999, an operator will ask what emergency service you need. If there is no answer, the operator will then ask you to cough, or make another audible sign that you're in need of police assistance. If you're in too much danger to make any sound at all, the call will be put through to an automated system which asks the caller to press 55 if they're in danger. If 55 isn't dialled, the police will not be dispatched.
