Reporting Crime and Anti Social Behaviour
17th of August, 2020
NOT Reporting Crime and Anti Social Behaviour in Whalley is making matters worse.
At the January 2020 Meeting the Parish Council, Police, Borough Councillors and members of the public spoke about the impact of not reporting crime was having on the area. Whalley continue to suffers problems of anti social behaviour caused by young people and adults often linked to the nightime economy. Unless people report the Police assume there is not a problem and resources will not necessarily be allocated.
If you encounter crime or anti social behaviour reporting these are the appropriate channels to report it;
- If a crime is happening now call 999 immediately
- Is someone's life in danger?
- Is there an immediate risk of violence to the person, or damage to property?
- Is a suspect still at the scene or nearby?
- Is a serious offence in progress?
- Call 999
