We want to make it as easy as possible for you to contact the police, which is why a new app called #PoliceUK has been launched. This will allow you to report a range of services online in the same way you would as if you called 101.These include reporting anti-social behaviour, domestic abuse, or road traffic incidents and many others and means you can do it whenever suits you without having to make a phone call.#PoliceUK is available via both the Google Play and iOS app stores. If it is an emergency, you should always call 999.
