Do you know about What 3 Words?

🚨 Could you tell emergency services exactly where you are if you needed help? 🚨

To help emergency services find you more quickly, many UK and Irish emergency services encourage the use of what3words including Suffolk Police – a simple and effective way to share your exact location.

📍 What is what3words?

what3words has divided the world into 3m x 3m squares and assigned each square a unique combination of three words. This means every location can be identified with a simple three-word address.

For example, ///animals.safari.huts  pinpoints a precise spot on a footpath near to Framlingham Mere.
