Reporting crime

If you experience a crime at your business please report it. The police and other agencies target their resources based on the information they have from reports. If they don’t know that crimes are taking place, they can’t try to take action.

You can contact Devon and Cornwall Police on telephone 101 (non-emergency) or telephone 999 (emergency calls only).

In non-emergency situations, you can also report some types of crime online using the Devon and Cornwall Police reporting website
