REPORTING NON-EMERGENCIES ONLINE
Non-emergency situations can now be reported to the police online if residents would rather do so than call 101
In October last year Cambridgeshire Constabulary re-launched their website with added functionality to report non-
emergencies via specially designed forms or a live webchat. The live webchat option enables residents to communicate directly
with member of staff in the control room, just as would be the case when calling 101.
Online forms are processed in the same way as a call and the person reporting can expect a response within 24 hours.
Due to the high level of demand there are often queues when calling 101. Reporting online is quick, easy and free of charge.
Reports submitted online are treated in the same way as when residents call 101 and will receive the same outcome.
To view the online reporting section of the constabulary’s website visit
www.cambs.police.uk/report/
The live webchat func-
tion is available by clicking on the green icon on the bottom right of the page.
There are other ways of contacting the police:
999 in an emergency; 0800 555 111 Crime Stoppers; 0300 123 2040 Action Fraud
burglarycrackdown@cambs.pnn.police.uk
or
www.crimestoppers-uk.org
If you are not online you can telephone 101 to give the police information.

The first meeting will be on Sunday 18

March in the Village Hall (Millard Suite) starting at 4.30pm and running for
about an hour. Parents are very welcome (encouraged) to come as well. There will be about four meetings between

running it. What will you decide to do this year?

A huge thank you to everyone concerned for the amazing, really
amazing, response to the Poppy Appeal.
