# Police

A confusion worth clearing up first: the **national police station** serving the whole municipality **is in Torre del Mar**, in Calle Puerta del Mar, and not in Vélez-Málaga, despite Vélez being the municipal capital.

## What is handled there

- **Reporting a crime.** You can do this at any police station, not necessarily the one where it happened, and some offences can be reported online.
- **National identity document and passport**, both by appointment. This is the most requested procedure and it is not attended without one, so book ahead in the busy months.

## Emergencies

The police station is for procedures and reports. Anything urgent goes through **112**, the single European emergency number, which covers police, fire and medical emergencies and has English-speaking operators.
