Help in an emergency

The number 110 connects you to the police control center free of charge, regardless of whether you are calling from a landline or cell phone.
Please note that when dialing the emergency number 110 on your cell phone, you will not automatically reach the local control center.
On the phone, state WHO is calling, WHAT has happened and WHERE it has happened. Do not simply hang up, but wait for further questions!
People with speech or hearing impairments have the option of sending an emergency fax to the fax number 110.


Further information and the emergency fax numbers of other police authorities in North Rhine-Westphalia can be found here.
