Announcement: Change of Police Emergency SMS Sender ID from 71999 to 70999

From 1 October 2024, the Police Emergency Short Message Service (SMS) Sender ID 71999 will be replaced and changed to a new number: 70999. This change is part of the Ministry of Home Affairs’ efforts to standardise the SMS Sender IDs across Home Team Departments.

The Police Emergency SMS provides the option of communicating with the police during emergency situations where phone conversations are unsafe or unavailable.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) uses 70995 for emergency SMS communication related to fire or medical emergencies as part of its 995 emergency service.

For non-emergencies, the police advises the public to use alternative channels such as i-Witness, or the Police@SG mobile app, to provide information or lodge reports. More details can be found on the SPF e-Services website (https://eservices.police.gov.sg).
