Ever wondered how emergency services can find you when you’re in the middle of nowhere? That’s where what3words comes in.

This clever app has divided the entire world into 3-metre squares, each with its own unique three-word code. It’s like GPS coordinates, but way easier to remember and share.

Here’s how to use it in an emergency:

  • Get the free what3words app
  • Open it and tap the location arrow to find where you are
  • When you call 999 or 101, just tell the operator the three words shown on your screen

It’s that simple. Knowing exactly where you are could make all the difference when seconds count. Download the free what3words app today https://what3words.com/products/what3words-app  – because sometimes “near the big tree” just isn’t good enough.


If you have information about any crime call 101, email: 101@sussex.pnn.police.uk or call the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111. If you see crime taking place call 999.
