Emergency services in Dhaka can be accessed via the national toll-free emergency number, **999**, which connects callers to the police, fire service, and ambulance services.
* **Police:** Law enforcement and public safety are overseen by the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP), which operates numerous stations across the city. * **Fire & Rescue:** The Bangladesh Fire Service and Civil Defense handles fire emergencies, building collapses, and natural disaster responses. * **Ambulance:** While government ambulances are dispatched via 999, many private hospitals and non-profit organizations (such as the Anjuman Mufidul Islam) run their own ambulance fleets.
