Police: Old Kent Road has a local police team. There is a national phone number for contacting the police, which is 101. This is is the 24/7 non-emergency police number in England, Wales, and Scotland, designed to reduce 999 pressure. Use it to report crimes not currently in progress (e.g., car theft, property damage, vandalism), report minor traffic accidents, suspected drug dealing, or to provide information about local crime.

Only dial the Emergency Services 999 number if a crime is taking place and you are in immediate danger.
