Report a crime

There can be many barriers that deter people from reporting crime, many of which are hard for the police to tackle alone. The decision not to report a crime is often founded on a complex mix of individuals, emotions, perceptions and expectations

In an emergency, always dial 999 - if a crime is happening now, or if anyone is in immediate danger.

If it's not an emergency, contact the nearest police station.

If you don't need an urgent response, you can now report a crime online. Details will then be forwarded to the local police.
