OUR POLICE FORCE 

The police force plays a vital role in our community, ensuring that we can live in a safe and secure environment. But the police are not just enforcers of the law, they also play a crucial role in community outreach and engagement. From attending local events to conducting school visits and hosting community meetings, the police work hard to build strong relationships with residents and promote a sense of unity within the community. They also offer various programs and initiatives aimed at crime prevention, such as Neighbourhood Watch and youth diversion activities. These efforts not only help to keep the city safe but also foster a sense of trust and cooperation between the police and the community.

EMERGENCY - 000

When it comes to emergency situations, it's important to act quickly and decisively. The 000 emergency service is a crucial resource that allows us to get immediate help when we need it most. However, it's important to understand that this service should only be used when an immediate response is required. This means calling the police if you witness a 

• crime in progress or someone is in danger
• contacting St John Ambulance
• contacting the DFES in other emergency situations. 

By doing so, you can ensure that your call is prioritized and that help arrives as quickly as possible. Remember, when every second counts, using the right emergency service can make all the difference.

NON-EMERGENCY - 131 444

It is good to know the non-emergency contact number for the Western Australia Police Force - 131 444. This number is there for you to call when you require police assistance or attendance, but it is not an emergency. For instance, you can use it when:

• your car gets stolen
• your house is broken into
• someone has committed a minor offence

It allows you to get help from the police when you need it, without having to clog up the emergency line meant for life-threatening situations. With the non-emergency contact number, the Western Australia Police Force is always reachable when you need their services, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
