Every police authority in NRW has its own control center where emergency calls are answered. Experienced police officers are on the phone there around the clock. When 110 is dialled, the police communication system automatically recognizes which city the emergency call is coming from and forwards the call to the correct police authority. Calls are almost always answered within a few seconds. If many calls are received at the same time, it is possible in exceptional cases that you may have to wait or hear a busy signal.
Failure of the emergency call
If the police emergency number 110 fails, you can still reach the police via the local landline numbers, by fax and on site at the police stations. In such cases, the police will increase their presence on the streets.
Police, fire departments and rescue services can all be reached via app in emergency situations - "nora" makes it possible.
