Yesterday, I attended a welcome party for foreign students at local universities. A police officer (not in uniform, as shown in the picture ;) ) attended and advised the students to call 110 if they were ever to need emergency help. He explained that even if there were a language problem the police would be able to identify the location from which you had made the call and send officers to assist you. So, if you were in a situation where you needed immediate assistance (e.g. you were injured in car accident, were the victim of a crime, stranded as a result of a natural disaster, etc.), merely calling 110 and saying “Help me” would be enough.
