Dear Residents

You may have noticed Crime Stoppers 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 Crime Stoppers organisation offers a service where you can speak up and remain 100% anonymous.

Crimes stoppers 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, Crime Stoppers 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 Crime Stoppers here: What we do with your information | Crime stoppers (crimestoppers-uk.org)

If you want to report a crime via Crime Stoppers you can do so here: Giving information anonymously | Crime stoppers (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 regard

PCSO ANDERSON 6224
