If we lose a passport or get scammed can we reliably contact the police.

Yes Sri Lanka operates a highly dedicated specifically trained branch called the Tourist Police located in virtually every single major tourist hub from Unawatuna to Ella. They are universally highly proficient in English and incredibly eager to perfectly assist foreign visitors.

If you experience a severe hotel scam or lose your passport they will brilliantly help you file the exact formal police reports required by your international travel insurance company. You can usually find their small blue and white police posts directly located near the main beaches or railway stations.
