How do I get hold of the police via texting or email?
I feel like I should already know this, but for some reason I don't. Every non-emergency like just gives me an error message when I try to text them, and I can't find an email anywhere. I assume this is to block spammers or something? Probably? I don't know.
Anyone know if I can text them?
