Call the police

意思

文化背景

The unified emergency number is 112. Operators usually speak Latvian, Russian, and often English. There are two types of police: 'Valsts policija' (State) and 'Pašvaldības policija' (Municipal). You 'saukt' both using the same phrase. Latvians value privacy and quiet. Calling the police for noise complaints after 11 PM is very common. Historically, the term 'Milicija' was used during the Soviet era. Older generations might still use it occasionally, but 'Policija' is the only official term now.
