Reporting hate crime

When it’s an emergency

If you or others are seriously injured or in immediate danger, call the police on 999.

When it’s not an emergency

If the crime isn’t happening right now, if the subject is no longer at the scene, and if no one has been seriously injured or is in immediate danger, there are other ways you can report it.

If no one has been seriously injured or is in immediate danger, you may prefer to report the hate crime online with the police.

You can also contact Crimestoppers to give information about crime anonymously.

Some victims may find it challenging to report hate crimes directly to the police so that you can report non-emergency hate crime to:

• Tell MAMA
• Citizens Advice
• Victim Support
