101 the new police non-emergency number launches in Cheshire. |
Cheshire Police, together with Merseyside Police and Greater Manchester Police, switches over to using the new national non-emergency telephone number − 101.
The introduction of 101 is part of a national programme to make it easier for members of the public to contact police in a non-emergency, where an immediate police response is not required. From 23.11.2011, 101 will replace the force’s current non-emergency number 0845 458 0000. |
