Providing search and rescue services to the Queenstown community
Call 111 and ask for the Police when:
- someone is badly injured or in danger
- there’s a serious risk to life or property
- a crime is being committed and the offenders are still there or have just left
- you’ve come across a major public inconvenience, such as trees blocking a highway
- any of these things are happening now or have just happened.
If you can’t decide if it’s a real emergency and you’re still worried, call 111 and ask.
111 calls are free – even if the phone is out of credit.
