Emergency

Call 999 if:

a serious offence is in progress or has just been committed
someone is in immediate danger or harm
property is in danger of being damaged
a serious disruption to the public is likely

Text 999 in an emergency. You need to register for the service first: text 'register' to 999 and follow the instructions. Visit emergencySMS for more information about the service.

If you're deaf or hard of hearing, use our textphone service 18000.

Non-emergency

Call 101* for non-emergency enquiries

* Calls to 101 cost 15 pence per call from landlines and mobiles, no matter how long you're on the phone.

Video calling for the deaf

A British Sign language (BSL) user can connect to a BSL interpreter via video calling system SignVideo.

The interpreter will relay what you say to the police and vice versa.

This service is to report non-urgent incidents or crimes, or to ask the police for advice and information. It's not for emergencies.

How to use SignVideo

download the SignVideo app; you won't need to register
connect to a SignVideo interpreter and tell them you are calling the police 101 number
the SignVideo interpreter may ask if you want to prepare anything before starting the call
you'll then be connected to a 101 advisor via the interpreter

If you're deaf or hard of hearing, you can also use our textphone service on 18001 01604 432521.

Before reporting a crime

The following things aren't police matters, but your local council ought to be able to help with them:

noise nuisance
fly-tipping
stray dogs
animals killed on the road by a vehicle, unless they're causing an obstruction

For vehicles on the road with no valid road tax, contact the DVLA.

Before you call

So that we can deal with your call as quickly as possible, please try to have the following:

the date and time the crime happened
the location, such as address or road name along with the town or city
the details of any witnesses or suspects
if you think there is any additional evidence such as forensic evidence or mobile phone footage; or if there is clear CCTV footage of the offence being committed, please make us aware

Anti-terrorist hotline

Call the UK anti-terrorist hotline on 0800 789 321 if you've seen or heard something you think could suggest terrorist activity.

Stay anonymous – Crimestoppers

Contact Crimestoppers either online or on 0800 555 111 to anonymously report a crime or suspicious behaviour.
