How to report a crime
Emergency contact
Call 999 if:
- A crime is happening now
- People are injured
- People are being threatened or are in danger
- The offender is still there or is nearby
999 is for emergencies only. An emergency is something that demands an immediate response. Using the 999 line unnecessarily could prevent somebody who is in danger from getting through to us.
Non-emergency contact
Call our non-emergency number 101 when:
- There is no immediate danger to life
- The crime is NOT in progress
- The offender is NOT nearby
- You have a general enquiry
Some examples of when to use the non emergency number:
- "My car has been vandalised"
- "I want to report my mobile phone as lost”
- "I was in a car accident yesterday”
Please use the non emergency number for all general enquiries.
