Tips for emergency help
When residents need the assistance of an emergency locksmith after being locked out of their home, the following tips may help prevent ending up with an excessively high bill:
• When calling a locksmith, ask for an estimate over the phone.
• Don’t make any payments before the lock is opened. The locksmith is not allowed to ask for advance payment.
• You do not have to pay on the spot. If the bill seems too high, get legal advice from the German legal assistance section at an Army or Air Force legal office. They will advise you about the legality of the bill and, if necessary, help you prepare a rebuttal letter to the company.
Action required after accident
The 569th U.S. Forces Police Squadron responds to all off-base incidents involving an American within 1,100 square miles of Kaiserslautern. All traffic accidents, major or minor, including hitting a wild or domestic animal, must be reported to security forces by calling 112, 0631-536-6060/7070 or 489-6060/7070. If this is not accomplished within 72 hours, the individual will be cited for failure to report and will have points assessed to their license.
