All criminal incidents should be reported directly to the police as the initial step. They are best equipped to handle these situations.

If there are immediate concerns about your or someone else's safety, contact the police without delay.

After reporting to the police, it's important to inform us about the incident. When you get in touch, please provide:

·         Details of the incident

·         The police incident number

·         The name of the officer handling the case

We'll use this information to determine if we can take any further action.

If you prefer to report criminal behaviour without revealing your identity, you can use Crimestoppers.

Crimestoppers are an independent charity that allows anonymous reporting of crimes, and you can visit their website to make an anonymous report here.

Remember, by reporting criminal behaviour, you're helping to make Lancaster a safer place for everyone. We appreciate your cooperation in addressing these issues in our community.
