If you're in immediate danger

If you, or someone you know, are in immediate danger, call 999 straight away and ask for the police. If it is not safe for you to speak the police can still help you by using their 'Silent Solution'. Simply stay silent and press 55 when prompted.

Look out for the 'Ask for ANI' logo on display at some pharmacies as they can help you. They can provide a private space, a phone and ask you if you need support from the police or local services.

For non-emergencies, you can call Northumbria Police on 101.
