SMS Text
You can text your non-emergency message to 66247 but the message must start with the word SMS. We do not monitor these messages all the time, so never use it to report an emergency or to ask for help for an incident that is happening at the moment.
For example, to find out how to contact your local police team your text message would be: “SMS Hi What is the number for my police team my postcode is PR45SB”
Emergency SMS System
If you are deaf, hard of hearing or speech impaired use 66247 and start your message with POLICE if you need the police service or FIRE if you need the fire service. Text messages do not always arrive straight away, so use BT Emergency TypeTalk if there is a delay.
