Talked to the cops one time when I was robbed and didn't know who to call. They said both numbers actually work but the cops don't like picking them because mostly they are prank calls with guys abusing the telephone operator[s].

I know for sure 112 works in most countries, but not in Kenya - The
routing of the calls by the service provider is actually done, but
maybe it doesnt ring at the cops station. Never tried 999 locally but
I guess it will also just ring.
