To process your emergency call quickly and efficiently, it is very important for the police to have the following information:

Who is calling?
Please state your name.

What has happened? 
Briefly describe what you have observed.

Where did it happen?
Be as specific as possible about where something happened. If you don't know exactly where you are, a smartphone or car navigation device can help.

When did it happen?
State the time or period of the incident as precisely as possible.

How did it happen?
Briefly describe the sequence of events.

Why did it happen?
Did something decisive happen beforehand? Are there any causes for what happened?

Who is involved?
Give details of the perpetrator, victim and witnesses. If unknown, describe the people involved.

You can therefore reach the police free of charge in an emergency from any telephone line - whether it's a phone booth, your home phone or your cell phone.
