Which nationwide number is associated with non-emergency police services?

• A. 411
• B. 311
• C. 211
• D. 911

Answer: (B)

Non-emergency police services are reached through a line designated for non-urgent matters. This line allows you to report non-urgent incidents, ask for information, or request routine police assistance without tying up the emergency channel. Using it helps keep the emergency line free for true crises that require immediate response. The other options serve different purposes: the emergency line is for urgent, life-threatening situations; directory assistance provides contact information; and lines like the social services or information lines connect callers to community resources rather than police services.
