 Do not call 1-0-8 if there is no ‘serious people emergency’. It is not a number for enquiry or information gathering. Do not play around by dialing 1-0-8 as a joke. Otherwise a call in real emergency could be blocked and a life will be lost. If you happen to call 1-0-8 by accident then do not hang up until the officer asks you to do so.
