You can report non-emergency matters through our online chat service, found in the bottom right-hand corner of the website.
Live chat is currently available from 8am to 7pm. No user account or registration is needed.
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.
