A Crime

In an Emergency - call 999

Always dial 999 when:

• a crime is in progress
• a life is in danger or there is a risk of injury
• an offender is still at the scene or has just left

Non-emergencies - dial 101

To report  a crime or incident that is not an emergency or to make a general enquiry if you do not have a contact person or extension number call 101.

Calls to the 101 non–emergency number are free, from both landlines and mobiles.

You can also contact Dorset Police online here

(Online contact with the police is dealt with in exactly the same way as non-emergency 101 phone calls)
