Please continue to report any incidents – or direct any enquiries – to Kent Police via the following:

Report non-urgent incidents / enquiries online via Kent Police website Contact us | Kent Police or Live Chat. Live Chat is with a human in the control room – not a bot!

Always call 999 in an emergency.

Face-to-Face by attending a front counter. Locations include Dover, Folkestone, Margate, Canterbury, etc. Check Kent Police website for opening hours before attending.

Call 101 for non-urgent incidents / enquiries / advice. It’s free. Kent Police have recently experienced some queuing and therefore this option is put last.

We ask that the above options be utilised, rather than contact individual officers, to avoid unnecessary delays. The officer may be abstracted for several reasons such as leave, courses, sickness, court, etc.

Importantly, it also allows our control room to complete a threat / harm / risk assessment on the information and action accordingly.

Reporting is a vital, the number of reports received will directly effect the level of policing in the area. So always report crimes.

Phishing attacks dealing with suspicious emails

What is phishing? - Make yourself a harder target

Phishing is when criminals attempt to trick people into doing ‘the wrong thing’, such as clicking a link to a dodgy website.

Phishing can be conducted via a text message, social media, or by phone, but the term ‘phishing’ is mainly used to describe attacks that arrive by email.

Criminals send phishing emails to millions of people, asking for sensitive information (like bank details), or containing links to bad websites. Some phishing emails may contain viruses disguised as harmless attachments, which are activated when opened. Please click here for information about Phishing.
