Wikipedia reports that "On 15th May 2006 Hampshire Constabulary became the first to launch the new single non-emergency telephone number (SNEN), 101, as an alternative for the 999 number for reporting less serious or anti-social offences"

Telephone numbers for contacting the police are now as follows:

• In an emergency always ring 999
• For non-emergency policing, anti-social behaviour, community safety advice, information and action please ring 101 (calls cost a flat rate of ten pence).
• Call 0845 045 45 45 if you wish to speak to a police officer or staff member or report a crime (calls are charged at the local rate).
