105 - yes 105 - Non Emergency Number
People of South Brighton/Southshore - this is for you.
The launch of 105 marks a very significant milestone in the history of New Zealand Police, so they made a song, featuring their staff, to help you get it stuck in your head. You might have noticed their awesome video promoting our new way to contact us for non-emergencies, 105. If you missed it, check it out here. www.youtube.com...
Until now people either called their local Police station or they called 111 if they wanted to get hold of Police. Quite often people called 111 just because they wanted to talk to someone even if the matter wasn’t urgent.
So, to help keep New Zealand as safe as possible, they have introduced 105 so people know how to contact them for non-urgent situations as well. You can use 105 to report things that have already happened that don’t need urgent Police assistance.
You can call 105 from both mobile and landline phones. It’s a free nationwide service available day and night for New Zealanders and overseas visitors.
You can also go online to 105.police.govt.nz to report:
- Theft in a public place
- Theft from a car
- Intentional property damage
- Shoplifting
- Lost property
Or to get an update on a report already made or add to an existing report.
Just remember to always call 111 in an emergency. The new 105 service is only for Police non-emergencies. Call 111 when:
- A crime is happening now – and the offenders are still there or just left
- Someone’s in danger or badly injured
- There’s a serious risk to human life or property
- You see a major public hazard, like trees blocking a road
- Any of these things are happening now or have just happened.
111 is also the number for Fire and Ambulance.
A simple rule of thumb for when to call 111 and when to call 105 is this: If it’s happening now, use 111. If it’s already happened, use 105.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
