Police and ambulance

Has any expat had experience calling the police or ambulance in Turkey?

What was the language barrier like? Were you able to communicate what you needed clearly? For expats who don't speak Turkish, is there any point in even calling?

U can call 02125274503. that's the Tourism Police, they speak english!

Ambulance is 112
Pollice is 155

I guess that number is just for Istanbul. Have you called it before?
