999 alert
Is someone in immediate danger? Is a crime taking place or has one just happened? If so, call 999 now and ask for the police. If you have a hearing or speech impairment, use our textphone service 18000 or text us on 999 if you’ve pre-registered with the emergencySMS service.
We understand that you might be scared or feel disloyal, but we're here to listen and support you in any way we can.
If you’re concerned about someone else and think they might be being abused we want to hear from you.
Online
If you’d like to report online, you can use our online crime reporting service which is secure and confidential.
