Sorry I'm a foreign I know 911 is for the police what is 999 for exactly??
I don't know. Personally, I would have called 0118999881999119725... 3
Believe it or not, also the police. Just in a different country.
It's the British equivalent.
In the US people dial 911, in the UK it's 999
Police, fire, ambulance, coastguard, mountain rescue.
Then the police phone the Ministry of Defence who send a disposal team.
999 is the original. 911 didn’t come along until 30 years later.
I think it's for the police in the Britains
