Reporting incidents to Police, the right way.


Is it an emergency?

 

Call 999 in emergency situations like these:

  • there is an immediate danger to life

  • someone is using violence or is threatening to be violent

  • a crime is happening right now, like a house burglary or a theft

  • the suspect is still at the scene

  • Call 999 BSL to use a British Sign Language interpreter.

  • If it's not an emergency

    If you’ve witnessed or been the victim of crime that isn't an emergency, please report it to us via 101 to speak with one of our call handlers or fill in an online report form which will be sent direct to our control room.

     

    Your local PC and PCSO Officers can be available for offering support/advice throughout an ongoing problem that has first been reported via one of the correct channels as shown above. 

    For any new incidents which have not been reported correctly, please do so. This ensures the incident is triaged appropriately and tasked to the relevant officer.

     

    Your local officers will usually offer their contact details for any ongoing issues however any new incidents still need to be reported correctly.

     

    We please ask that Officers contact details are not shared on social media platforms such as Facebook. We are aware this has been done fairly recently.

     

    To offer the most efficient and appropriate service, incidents please need to be reported by one of the methods shown above. 

     

    Many thanks
