How to contact the police

How can I contact the police?
There are a number of ways you can contact us depending
on your needs and the urgency of your situation.
999 only in an emergency
When someone is in immediate danger or when a crime is in progress.
101 To report non-emergency incidents
Go online www.staffordshire.police.uk
On our website you can find the answers to many of the questions people ask
when calling the police, plus helpful information and advice.
Report crime and incidents online
If you need to report a crime or tell us something then why not report using
the ‘Report’ section on our website. Reports are dealt with the same way as
reporting online or calling 101.
Live Chat
A live chat function is also available on our website www.staffordshire.police.uk
The service offers a quick, easy and direct way of reporting problems that aren’t
urgent.

• Report a crime
