Known issues
Callers to the non-emergency 101 line may experience long wait times, especially during peak periods. To avoid this, try calling during off-peak hours or consider using online reporting options. Additionally, individuals with hearing or speech impairments might face accessibility challenges. For these situations, Typetalk or emergency SMS registration can be useful alternatives. These issues are reported occasionally, and efforts are being made to improve accessibility and reduce wait times.
