Staying safe

Be vigilant for spiking on a night out. Spiking is when someone gives you alcohol or drugs without your consent. It may be done to make it easier to rob you, physically harm you or sexually assault you. Keep an eye on your drink!

We know it can be scary to report being spiked, but the police are there to help. We will listen and take it seriously.

It is not a crime to have illegal drugs in your system (unless you are driving), and we don't want to let this stop people reporting spiking incidents to the police. We need to know about every possible spiking so we can investigate, even if no other crime has taken place.
