Contacting the Police
101 is the non-emergency telephone number for Warwickshire Police and has now been running since October 2011, making it easier for members of the public to report crime and disorder and make general enquiries.
101, which is live in several force areas across the country, is an easy to remember number which goes directly to the local control room no matter where you are dialling from. It takes away the need to search for the local force number and should reduce the volume of unneccessary 999 calls.
The number can be used to report if a car has been stolen or property has been damaged or vandalised, to report a minor traffic collision, to provide information about crime or to contact a local policing team.
101 does not replace 999, which should still be used in an emergency, when a crime is in progress, there is a danger to life or when violence is being used or threatened.
The new number will cost 15 pence from landlines and mobile phones for the entire call, no matter how long the call or what time of day it is.
For non-emergency: 01926 415000
If the suspect is still on scene when asked, ask for Control
If the suspect has left the scene when asked, ask for Crime desk
Crimes and Incidents can also be reported to Warwickshire Direct, which is now based at Southam Library as the Front Office is now closed at the Police Station although the team still operate from there.
General Enquiries for the team can be made at Warwickshire Direct, to a team member at a Community Surgery or on patrol, or by phone or email.
