Known issues
Callers sometimes experience long wait times during peak hours, especially when making non-emergency enquiries. It's recommended to use online reporting options when possible, as they can be more time-efficient. Another issue is the occasional misdirection of calls intended for specific local departments or stations to headquarters, causing delays. The constabulary has worked to improve call routing and provide staff training to address this. For prompt service and to avoid delays, calling during non-peak hours is advisable, and for emergencies, always use 999.
