Emergencies and Help
This is a low crime area, but if you do need the police, here are your options:- If you want the police in an emergency/crime in progress or you want them to attend urgently, always ring 999. If you want to contact the police for non-emergencies and urgent attendance isn’t essential, ring 101. As you may know, Sussex Police have re-organised the Community Support Officers and Slindon now falls within the beat of PCSO Neil Billingham based at Littlehampton Police Station with a team of PCSO's. You can contact Neil Billingham directly on his mobile 07775 406785. This has an automatic forward to the non-emergency number if he is unable to answer. Remember he may be on leave or on a rest day and may not pick up your message immediately so always report incidents first through the above channels. Email neil.billingham@sussex.pnn.police.uk You can
always report any suspicious activity or crimes to our Neighbourhood Watch
