A QR on a community notice links to the online crime reporting form. Non-emergency reports are completed at home without queuing at a front counter.

3. Witness Appeals

A QR on an incident notice links to the witness appeal page with the incident reference, date, and contact details. Witnesses come forward anonymously or by name.

4. Safety Advice

A QR on a leaflet or door-drop links to current seasonal crime prevention advice: holiday security, vehicle security, and online fraud awareness.
