Hi All,

I'm after all the names of the police forces that use NGN's as their non-emergency (general) contact number.

These are the ones I know of so far:-

• Thames Valley Police
  
• Hertfordshire
  
• Devon & Cornwall
  
• Norfolk Police

Thanks in advance.

heres the full list of UK police forces, and if they use NGN's.

West Yorks Police.( Yes ) 0845 60 60 606.

Cheers for all that.

Interesting that not all the uk forces use them so clearly our friends at Surrey Police won't be able to use the excuse that http://www.pito.org.uk told them to do it.

And as they are 0845 numbers they are going to go on costing callers more money for ages to come. :o >:(
