Dear Community

You may have noticed CrimeStoppers being sign-posted in our messages as a way to report crime.

There are many reasons why you may not feel comfortable to report a crime. Whether it’s because you don’t want to talk to police, you want to report someone you know or you’re not sure if the information you provide will help. 

The CrimeStoppers organisation offers a service where you can speak up and remain 100% anonymous.

CrimeStoppers also share advice on how to protect the people you care about from crime, so everyone can feel safe.

This service runs via phone and online, 24/7 and 365 days a year. 

After receiving your call or a completed anonymous online form, CrimeStoppers create a report that brings together all the information you gave them, making sure it doesn't contain any information that could identify you.

You can find out more on CrimeStoppers here: What we do with your information | Crimestoppers (crimestoppers-uk.org)

If you want to report a crime via CrimeStoppers you can do so here: Giving information anonymously | Crimestoppers (crimestoppers-uk.org)

Or by calling 0800 555 111.

Thank you for your help. It is only by the police and the public working together that we can prevent and detect crime. 

Kind regards,
