Local Police (Numbers and Usage Precautions)

In Guatemala, dial "110" or "122" to contact the police in emergencies. During the call, it is important to stay calm and provide an accurate location (address or nearby landmarks). Clearly explain the situation of the incident or accident, and if accompanied, mention the number of people present. However, police response in Guatemala may not always be prompt or adequate, and quality can vary, so it is recommended to seek help from hotel staff or trusted local guides if possible. When arrested or questioned, remain calm and strive to speak concisely due to potential language barriers.
