New non-emergency number - 105
NZ Police recently launched a new non-emergency number, 105.
They have done this to make it easier to get hold of them in the event of non-urgent situations or ‘Things which have Already Happened’, which do not require police assistance immediately.
You can call them on 105 for all non-emergencies, or you can go online at 105.police.govt.nz to report things like:
- Lost property
- Theft from a public place or car
- Intentional property damage
- To get an update or add info to a previous report
In the event of an emergency, always call 111 - Things that are Happening Now!
