111 is the emergency number for Police/Fire/Ambulance in New Zealand.
Non urgent police calls should go through their numbers listed in the phone book.
Historically, the NZ phone system was based on that of UK. Except that the numbers on the dial were reversed on the old rotary dial phones. But in the background, the NZ Post Office kept the same systems as the UK ones. In UK, 999 was the emergency phone number. In NZ, when you dialled number 4 (on old rotary phone) actually 6 pulses went down the line, similarly dialling 7 sent 3 pulses down the line.
So when in NZ you dialled 1, there were 9 pulses sent down the line. The 'single pulse' option was avoided in both systems to make emergency calls more resistant to casual errors.
