FOI 0614-2023/24 - Control Room Non-Emergency Number

Request:

Q1. I request a direct non-emergency telephone number and email address for your control room (or, where you have more than one control room, the aforementioned for each such control room).

Please note that I am not seeking your switchboard telephone number and that I do not seek to “jump the queue”, so to speak, but simply to make contact directly with your control room in circumstances where that is required without having to engage with the menu options presented by your switchboard

Response:
