Emergency number -- 112

[dantheman]

Somebody at work printed out one of those internet stories about dialing 112 to connect you with a Police dispatcher . This is supposed to help women if they are hesitant about pulling over for an unmarked vehicle , etc. Sounds like a bunch of crap to me . Why not just dial 911 instead ? Anybody else heard of this ?

BTW , 112 is the equivalent to our 911 in other countries .

911 connects you to a police dispatcher. Although you aren't supposed to use it for non-emergencies.

112 is a not a number that I would dial to get through to the police dispatcher. It is a universal GSM number that will connect you to the nearest emergency response center. In fact, you can dial this number from any cell phone even without a SIM card and it will go through. No, this is not the number you call to check out an unmarked unit that wants you to pull over.
