 Update From Essex Police – How to Contact The Police  There are now more ways of reporting non-emergency crime and anti-social behaviour through the digital 101 service on the website at Essex Police  :-

  • You can also use the service to contact your local policing team, tell them about something you have seen or heard, or request information.
  • There is also a Live Chat service which is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You can send and receive real-time messages with an online operator.
  • And there is still the 24-hour 101 service which people can call if they feel it is more appropriate to speak to someone or don’t have access to the internet.
  • Always call 999 if a serious offence is in progress or has just been committed, someone is in immediate danger or harm, property is in danger or being damaged, or a serious disruption to the public is likely.
  • If you have a hearing or speech impairment, use our textphone service 18000 or text us on 999 if you’ve pre-registered with the emergencySMS service.
  • British Sign Language (BSL) users please use our video relay service where an interpreter will help you report the crime to us.
  • If you’re in danger but you can’t talk on the phone, you should still call 999, then follow the instructions depending on whether you’re calling from a mobile or a landline.
