Silent 999 calls
Silent 999 calls are not automatically transferred to the police, as they may have been dialled accidentally. However there is a procedure which the police request the emergency operator to follow for silent 999 calls that means that if you have made an emergency call but cannot speak (for example because you believe you will be in danger if you are heard), then the nature of the call will be identified if at all possible and it will be connected to the police and dealt with appropriately.
