If you make a hoax call to Sussex Police, you will be investigated and dealt with by the courts.

Hoax calls endanger lives by pulling resources away from those that need them. If you or someone you care about was involved in an accident or being attacked, how would you feel if we couldn't get there because someone had made a hoax call?

Think before you call - don't cause lives to be lost or enable criminal activity to happen unnecessarily.
