About Maldives Police Service
The Maldives Police Service is the national police force. Its website lists the police emergency line 119 and the hotline 332 2111, and the Maldives also introduced 911 as a single national emergency number in 2024. Through the e-services portal people can report a crime or ask for follow-up, apply for a police certificate and track its status, and submit tips anonymously. A Scam Check tool on its cyber portal helps check whether a call or message matches a known scam.
