When calling 101

Please ensure that when members of Neighbourhood Watch call Kent Police using the 101 system that they clearly identify themselves as members of Neighbourhood Watch to the call handler and ask for the call to be "tagged" for the attention of Neighbourhood Watch.

This will ensure that any incidents reported by Neighbourhood Watch are brought to the attention of the East Kent Coordinator who can make any necessary follow up calls.

Please pass this message as widely as possible amongst your Neighbourhood Watch contacts.

Please also note : calls to 101 (from both landlines and mobile networks) cost 15 pence per call, no matter what time of day you call, or how long you are on the phone. The 15p cost of the call goes to the telephony providers to cover the cost of carrying the calls.

Thank you for your cooperation.
