Important details of how to contact the police

Information from your Stratford District Safer Neighbourhood Teams (SNTs)

The police encourage all residents to report any policing issues directly to us, as a direct report from a resident is logged onto our database and builds evidence for resources to be applied to issues. Social media conversations do not contribute to this important data base and reports made by emails to others often delay the recording, action or update on what the police are actively doing to try to deal with incidents, reduce crime and tackle anti-social behaviour. We would like to signpost and encourage the below ways to best contact us:

Points of contact

999 This is the number to ring if there is an emergency incident happening right now that needs an immediate police presence – if life is at risk, people are injured, offenders are nearby or a crime is in progress.

Reporting online This is the preferred method to contact police and report any non-emergency issues that do not require an immediate response. This also includes reporting non-emergency collisions and antisocial behaviour. Online reporting is available 24/7 and can be accessed at https://www.warwickshire.police.uk/ro/report

Just reporting If you simply want to provide information or intelligence without speaking to anyone, this can be done online at https://www.warwickshire.police.uk/tua/tell-us-about/

Operation Snap You can report and submit digital footage showing potential moving traffic offences online at https://www.warwickshire.police.uk/operationsnap

101 If you are unable to report an issue online but have concerns that do not need an emergency response, this is the number you can use. Please be aware that you may have to wait if the lines are busy, but make sure you have (or receive) an incident number.
