Last year, Tayside Police introduced a non-emergency telephone number across the Tayside Force's area, to replace localised phone numbers across Tayside for non-999 calls.
However, the "0845" number was not memorable and there are also issues about charges made by some telecommunications companies make in relation to "08" prefixed numbers.
Tayside Police has therefore changed the number to :
0300 111 2222
I think that is a very sensible move and will be welcomed.
