When you first use the site, you will be asked to register with your email address and a password. This will ensure that any future incidents can be reported quicker and easier. When you have reported the incident, you will be given a reference number. The incident shall then be logged by police communications staff and the individual who reported the incident shall receive a crime reference number.
Please note that the site should be used to report non-emergency matters only. If the crime is happening now, please call 999 immediately.
