Police, Gendarmerie, firefighters: a single unique number to alert emergency services

In the event of an emergency, the Senegalese now have a single number: 112. This system allows them to contact the relevant services, in particular the Police, the Gendarmerie and the fire brigade, without having to search for the number of each body.

Its implementation aims to facilitate alert and improve coordination between defense, security and emergency forces. By grouping together access to these different services, the authorities intend to make interventions faster and better organized.

People are therefore invited to dial 112 when they are faced with a situation requiring urgent intervention. This number can also be used to transmit any useful information to the services concerned.
