, particularly during emergencies
In the case of an electricity emergency or a power cut:
If your electricity supplier is Scottish and Southern Energy, you can call them on 0800 300 999. They provide advice on their website on .
If your supplier is Scottish Power, contact SP Energy Networks on 0800 092 9290 or
If you have a problem with your water supply or the water in your area, you should contact Scottish Water on 0800 0778 778, or see the for more information.
101 is the new number to contact Police Scotland that replaces other existing non-emergency numbers. This is for the public to call when they want to get through to the police when it's less urgent than 999. It should be used to report less urgent crime, to contact the police with a general enquiry, or to speak to a local officer. For example:
- If a car has been stolen
- property has been damaged
- to report suspected drug use or dealing
- reporting minor traffic collisions
- to give information about a crime in your area
- or simply to speak to a local police officer
In an emergency the advice is always to phone 999 - e.g. when an immediate response is needed because a crime is happening, someone suspected of a crime is nearby, or someone is injured, being threatened or in danger.
