New
Police Non-Emergency number - 101
You
will no doubt have heard about this by now, but it’s worth
repeating it. The old 0845 non-emergency number to contact
Thames Valley Police has been replaced with a new
easy-to-remember 3-digit number. If you need to contact the
Police for any reason other than a real emergency, you can dial
101 from any phone, mobile or landline, for a fixed cost of 15p,
regardless of how long you are on the phone.
It
works in West Berkshire now. For more information, go here: http://www.police.uk/101
