Reporting a Crime
In An Emergency
Dial 999 for emergencies or where a crime is actually going on.
If you have a hearing or speech impairment, use the textphone service 18000 or text on 999 if you have pre-registered with the emergencySMS service.
To register for textphone or emergencySMS from your mobile services, click here and follow the instructions.
Remember to ensure you are safe to call, if not, get to a safe position then make the call.
When It Is Not An Emergency
Dial 101: to report something that has happened or a suspicious circumstance not amounting to an emergency.
Report online
To report online rather than use 101 use the Metropolitan Police Website - Go to "https://www.met.police.uk"
Note reports can also be made here about stolen vehicles, missing persons, lost and found, anti-social behaviour and road traffic incidents.
Other Ways To Contact Our local Police
Please always report any crime to the police. They have advised that all reported crime will be added to their statistics and will reflect on their level of policing of our neighbourhood. If they do not know crime is occuring they cannot be expected to allocate resources to us.
Safer Neighbourhood Team
There are three ways to engage with our Safer Neighbourhood Team.
You can view their website for local crime statistics, latest information and meetings they may be hosting here.
You can email them at stmargarets&northtwickenham@met.police.uk. The mail has an autoresponder so you should get confirmation it has been received. It is not manned 24/7 so please do not expect an immediate human response and do not use this for emergencies.
You can call them using this number: 02071759465
The telephone number will reach them. If they are not on duty it will be picked up when they come on. If they are on duty they will receive a message that a call has bene made and pick up any message you leave there.
Neither the email address or local number should be used for emergencies. Those calls should always be to 999 or 101/online to report a crime. Please use this email or number to raise local crime issues and concerns.
Crimestoppers
You can also use the Crimestoppers website and number (0800 555 111) which is anonymous should you not wish to give your name.
Reporting Scams and Phishing
If you spot a scam or have been scammed, please report it and get help. Contact Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040 or online at actionfraud.police.uk.
If you believe you have been scammed you may need to contact your Bank to report it or prevent payment occuring. You can find some contacts for Banks here.
