Save time, report your non-emergency incident online
We’ll always be here to answer your calls, but the large number of calls we get, particularly at weekends, may mean that you could wait a while for us to answer your 101 call.
Instead of waiting on the phone to report a non-emergency incident, did you know you can do this online? Your report will still be dealt with in the same way as if you reported via 101.
Reporting non-emergency incidents online not only helps reduce pressure on our control room and gives our call handlers more capacity to answer 999 emergency calls, it also allows you to report at a time most convenient for you.
Examples of non-emergency incidents you can report to us online
- a crime that is not currently taking place and the offender is no longer present
- a routine enquiry
- making an appointment to attend an enquiry desk
- requesting advice
- lost and found property enquiries
