Something to Report?

Contact (c Unsplash)HELP US HELP YOU – REPORT CRIME, ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR AND OTHER COMMUNITY SAFETY ISSUES IN YOUR AREA

The Police and other Community Safety Partners work hard to keep you safe and deal with neighbourhood issues. In order to do this they need to know what issues are taking place in communities and this comes from you and your neighbours.

Sadly many people don’t report issues for a number of reasons, such as leaving it to others to report, frustration at a perceived lack of action or due to previous difficulty/time taken to call the police and other agencies in the past.

But did you know that there are a range of online channels for reporting: crime, anti-social behaviour, information about those involved in crime and other community issues - which may be quicker and easier for you?

Below is some guidance around online reporting channels for the police and other agencies.

Online reporting to the Police

  • A non-emergency crime is a crime that does not require an emergency response such as reporting burglary of non-domestic or commercial premises e.g. sheds and outbuildings, theft, criminal damage or theft from/damage to vehicles.
  • Report them online here 
    • You can report a collision online when it has occurred in the Humberside Police area. The collision needs to have occurred on a road or in a public place where there was damage to another person’s property. You can report a collision online here 
    • Rural Crime - See It, Recognise It, Report It! - It is not always easy to distinguish between legal and illegal activity. For information on the types of rural crime, how to identify it and what information to collect when reporting CLICK HERE
  • Hate crimes / Hate incidents can take place anywhere – at home, in the streets, at work, online or at school. No-one should have to live with the fear, anxiety and consequences of hate. Reporting it when it happens will help authorities deal with it and may prevent these incidents from happening to someone else. You will also help us understand the extent of hate crime in your local area so we can better respond to it.
    Report it to Humberside Police online here
    Report it anonymously to True Vision here 

Online reporting of those involved in crime - Crimestoppers

Crimestoppers are an independent charity who allow members of the public to anonymously report people involved in criminality in their neighbourhood.
