Reporting Crime or Concerns – Who Should You Contact? 🚨

Dear Residents,

We understand that it can sometimes be confusing knowing who to contact when reporting a crime, suspicious activity or a concern in your local area. We would like to remind residents of the different ways to contact police and other services.

🚨 999 – Emergency
Call 999 if:

A crime is happening right now.

Someone is in immediate danger.

Violence is taking place or being threatened.

A suspect is at the scene or a crime has just happened and an immediate police response is needed.

📞 101 – Non-Emergency
Call 101 if:

You need to report a crime that has already happened and there is no immediate danger.

You wish to report ongoing anti-social behaviour (ASB).

You have concerns about suspicious activity in your neighbourhood.

You need police assistance but it is not an emergency.

💻 Report Online
You can also report non-emergency crimes, ASB and other concerns through the Metropolitan Police website:

Online reporting is often a convenient alternative to calling 101.
