Police telephone numbers updated

Published: Saturday, 05 June 2010

OUR list of police non-emergency telephone numbers has been updated today, and boaters are advised to include this as it contains various updates.

The list, provided by Graham Keens, now gives information on the Single Non Emergency Number (SNEN), which he tells us is alive and well and living in Hampshire and Wales. Whilst Hampshire has been running for a while it would appear that the Welsh police forces have 'gone alone' with the idea and have launched 101 as a SNEN.

The updated list even includes such as the British Transport Police, which could be useful to report any incidents on railways, many of which run by the side of the waterways.

This list is certainly being used by boaters, and perhaps others as well, as we were most surprised to discover that since its inception early last year it has received 28,947 visits.
