1. Call 911

You can contact the police by calling 911 from anywhere in Ontario.

Try to make your call from a place where your partner can't stop you. For example, lock yourself in the bathroom.

The 911 dispatcher will ask you for some basic information about yourself and your family. They will try to keep you talking while a police car is sent to your home. Tell the dispatcher if you or your children are hurt.

All calls to 911 are recorded. So, if the police charge someone with a crime and the case goes to criminal court, what you say to the 911 operator will likely be used as evidence in court.
