About 10111 centres
This is a 24-hour crime-reporting call centre which handles complaints from the public. The calls can be made through a Telkom line or a cellphone. All calls to the centre are recorded.
Note: Dial this number only in emergencies. Do not misuse it as this:
- blocks calls from people in life-threatening situations and in need of police assistance
- is a waste of police time as officers may have to drive or fly to the alleged crime scene
- is a waste of police resources as officers may be deployed where there is no emergency.
For less serious complaints and general enquiries, call the nearest police station.
