Humberside Police
Why you should always report a crime
If a crime is not reported, the police and other authorities may not be aware of it, or indeed of what is going on in your community. So, by reporting crime, we can all work together to help prevent crime occurring.
There is more than one way to get in touch with the Police:
1. In an emergency call 999
2. In non-emergency situations call 101
3. You can report crime online www.humberside.police.uk
4. You can report anonymously without providing your name or contact information to Crime Stoppers, an independent charity. Call 0800 555 111 or visit www.crimestoppers-uk.org
5. You can report cyber-crime (e.g., online fraud, crime using computers and online scams) to the Action Fraud website www.actionfraud.police.uk or by calling 0300 123 2040.
6. If you feel unsafe in a particular area, you can report this to Street Safe reporting where and why you do not feel safe in that area - www.police.uk/pu/notices/streetsafe/street-safe
- Please ensure that ‘Report a crime online’ – is in bold, larger type and more obvious.
- Please add Operation Yellowfin:
Operation Yellowfin continues its enforcement against reckless and antisocial vehicle use across the area in a sustained effort to improve public safety and ensure responsible riding. This includes also taking action against dangerous off road riding, which is illegal under Section 34 of the Road Traffic Act 1988.
A significant number of e-scooter riders do not realise that riding in public spaces is illegal unless part of an approved trial scheme, and the same applies to e-bikes that have been illegally modified to exceed speed limits.
Victim Support are there to help anyone affected by crime. It doesn’t matter when the crime took place, or whether you’ve reported it to the police. You can get help at any time, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, either online at https://crimestoppers-uk.org/ or by calling freephone 0808 1689111. Victim Support are independent from the police, and support is free and confidential.
