101 reminder
Members of the public are being reminded that, from January 1, the PSNI will only be able to be contacted on the recently introduced 101 number or the emergency 999 line.
From today onwards the old 0845 600 8000 number will no longer be in operation.
Chief Superintendent Alasdair Robinson said the new number is easy to remember and use to report crime, or to receive advice in relation to non-emergency issues.
