Thames Valley Police introduce new 101 number
Thames Valley Police have introduced a new 101 number for non-emergency calls.
The service will be used to report crimes such as stolen cars or damaged property, but does not replace 999 for emergency calls.
It is part of a national campaign and all police forces in England and Wales are aiming to use the number by the end of January 2012.
Police said calls would be handled 24 hours a day, seven days a week and cost 15p from landlines and mobile phones.
