If you need urgent help from law enforcement, call the police. This can be done from both a landline and a cell phone using one of the appropriate numbers.
Instructions
Step 1
You can call the police from a landline phone in any city of the Russian Federation at 02. Please note that in some localities that have switched to digital PBXs, the number 102 is used.
Step 2
Try to call the police using a GSM cell phone at 112. You can make this call from a SIM card of all operators, even if it is blocked or has a negative balance. Some modern phone models allow making emergency calls even without a card.

For example, in Ukraine, calling the police is 102, in Belarus - 101, in the USA and Canada - 911, in Australia - 000, and in Israel - 106. Make sure that the phone has enough battery power to make a call, inform the police all the necessary details.
