Northumbria to pilot non-emergency number

A new "101" telephone number for non emergency calls to the police is to be piloted in the Northumbria Police area in the summer. It is expected that the rest of the country will follow in 2008.

Currently 70 percent of calls to "999" are not emergencies. However, calls to the number will not be free as they are to "999". They will cost 10p.
