A friend of my argued that the distress telephone lines on most police patrol vans are not safe to be contacted with a phone number you are currently using to inform the police about a robbery operation in your area,this is due to the fact that the police can hand over your numbers to the robbers and the criminals would come back looking for you.

How true is this,is it risky to contact the police distress numbers in their operational vans with your mobile number?

Try it first.

Sometimes Nigerian policemen are collaborators in robbery...if you are not lucky u will be reporting the robbers to their colleagues on black uniform.

I mean the numbers on their patrol vans,how risky is it,should someone block and dispose the SIM card after the call

Not necessary. If your call isn't a false alarm and you need to do it to rescue a terrible situation, you can go ahead.

How do you mean,do you have an contrary reservations or opinion about this issue please u can share it,we including myself learn everyday by each other sharing our various experiences !!!

Just damn the consequence and do the call.

But mind you, most of the officers are on the know. So you may be reporting a robber to his colleague. At the end, when police come there will blow sirene at about 300yards away from the crime scene telling the robbers "time up" and hurry up and leave.

I was told me that a man called the police and later the robbers went to shoot him dead because he called the police that's why am scared about the annonmyous of the distress calls we put accross,i thought numbers on patrol vans are been picked up in a central operation room

In that case u pointed out, the policemen leaked out that info hence they were collaborators...however, impulse makes emergency calls for such purposes so swift such that u won't care to know what exact number is being used for such calls. The question is do the police in Nigeria respond and show up in real time to such calls?

For where you see me support police ever in ma life?
