Accessible ways to contact Police

Accessible ways to contact us 

We want everyone to be able to contact us safely and effectively, including people with disabilities.

Here are some of the ways you can contact North Yorkshire Police:

 Online reporting

For non-emergencies, you can report incidents or get advice online – your report goes straight to our control room. Just visit the North Yorkshire Police website.

 Non-emergency: 101

If you need to contact us but it’s not urgent, call 101.

If you have a hearing or speech impairment, use our textphone service on 18001 101.

 Emergency: 999

In an emergency, always call 999.

Alternative accessible options include:

• emergencySMS - textphone 18000 or text us on 999 (pre-registration required, search emergencySMS to do so)

• 999 BSL video relay service for British Sign Language users (search 999 BSL to access this)

 If you don't speak English

We can still speak to you using a translator. When you call 999 or 101, tell us your language or say the name of your country. We'll connect you to an interpreter who will translate your conversation.

We’re here for everyone. Consider saving or sharing this information so you (or someone you know) can access help when it’s needed most.
