What is the Sri Lanka tourist police hotline?

The dedicated official hotline for the Sri Lanka Tourist Police is 1912. This short, three-digit emergency number links tourists straight to a specialist dispatch centre where English-speaking operators manage practical troubles like lost passports, theft, harassment, or larger transport disputes that may come up.

The Tourist Police work as a specialised division apart from the usual local police force, which you can reach via 119. They are specifically trained to mediate conflicts involving visitors, and they are positioned in well-known tourist places, like Ella, Galle, and Kandy. So, save 1912 on your phone; it is a necessary safety step before you arrive on the island.
