Reporting & Witnessing Crimes
Why It Matters:
Timely reporting of crimes assists the police in taking swift action, solving cases, and enhancing community security. However, many crimes remain unreported due to fear or lack of support awareness.
How to Report Crimes Effectively:
- In case of emergencies like theft, robbery, or assault, dial 113.
- For non-emergency situations, such as lost documents, visit your nearest police station.
- Ensure you provide clear and precise details, including location, time, and a description of the suspect.
- If you fear retaliation, the RBP allows for the anonymous reporting of tips.
How RBP Encourages Crime Reporting:
- Public Complaint Cell: Specialised units for addressing citizen grievances.
- Community Policing Programs: Promoting collaboration between the public and police to create safer neighbourhoods.
- Protection for Witnesses & Informants: Ensuring confidentiality and safety.
