Reporting a crime and getting support
If you witness a crime, safety should be your priority. Never do anything which could put you or somebody else in more danger
Emergency
Always dial 999 in an emergency; such as when a crime is in progress, someone suspected of a crime is nearby, when there is danger to life or when violence is being used or threatened. When you dial 999, the operator assistance centre will be able to provide assistance from the police, London Fire Brigade and ambulances to the scene.
Police in non-emergency situations
If it is not an emergency but you need Police assistance, please call 101 or report to Police online. You can also contact your Police Safer Neighbourhood team if you have concerns about something in your local area.
