This question is on the UK&Ireland Only Questions site. In the UK&I the emergency number is 999. I see where you're coming from though. The number of emergency calls my well reduce because it would be harder to identfiy what was an "emergency call" if each Service or Area had its own number. A system has been tried in Hampshire (England) whereby non emergency calls to (say) the police (to report things like damaged street lights or vandalised things) could be made on 101. This has not been sufficiently supported by the public so it's being discontinued. Most people just like to dial 999. The 999 system started in 1937, which was several decades before the US adopted 911 in 1968. 999 was introduced as a standard emergency number across the country because it is easy to remember and 999 is hard to mis-dial (you don't have to take your finger out of the dialling ring). See the link below for the history.

It depends where you live. In most areas of the U.S. it is 911. Some countries use 611. Check with the local law enforcement office. They will be able to tell you.

That's a very intelligent question and well thought out. I did a lot of research and I found that its 911. I mean its so hard to find this answer. It took a lot of work.
