Reporting Crime
NSW Police Online Website lists a range of ways to report crime. The three major avenues are:
1. Emergency 000
In life threatening urgent situations requiring Police, Fire or Ambulance, call 000.
You should only call '000' in a life threatening or time critical emergency. A life threatening or time critical emergency is when:
- someone has been seriously injured or is in danger;
- there is a serious risk to life or property;
- a crime is being committed;
- someone you suspect has committed a crime is close by, or their location is known, and there is an opportunity to arrest the suspect;
- witnesses might leave the scene of a crime, or evidence might be lost, if police do not get to the scene of a crime quickly;
- a further crime may be committed;
- the victim is seriously distressed, even though other circumstances suggest a less immediate response.
2. The Police Assistance Line
The Police Assistance Line (PAL) is available 24 hours, 7 days a week for you to report a range of non-urgent crimes.
RING 131 444
You can use PAL when:
- A crime is not in progress
- There are no traumatised victims
- The crime is not serious
- You do not need or wish police to attend.
