Brighton serious crime reporting

We are making the people of Brighton aware of our anonymous crime reporting service, and through this service enabling them to improve the quantity and quality of crime information they share with their local authorities.

Whilst we take information on a wide range of crimes, for this campaign we're focusing on the following crimes:

• County Lines and cuckooing
• Child sexual exploitation
• Serious and organised crime gangs

Many people in Brighton have serious concerns about reporting serious crimes like these. They understandably fear retaliation from the criminals they report, if they find out who reported them.

This is why our completely anonymous reporting service is so valuable to your community.

We’re an independent charity that gives you the power to speak up to stop crime, 100% anonymously.
 

Complete peace of mind

Your computer's IP addresses are never traced and no-one will ever know you contacted us. For telephone calls, we have have no caller line display, no 1471 facility and have never traced a call.
     

Multiple languages

If English isn't your first langauge, we take telephone calls in over 140 different languages.

Plus our online reporting form is available in six other languages. See the language option at the top of this page for these options.

 

County Lines and cuckooing

County Lines is a term used for organised illegal drug-dealing networks. Criminal gangs establish a base in a particular location, sometimes by ‘cuckooing’ - taking over the homes of local vulnerable adults by force or coercion. They then target other vulnerable local people and groom them to become involved in selling drugs.  

Child sexual exploitation

Child sexual exploitation is a form of child abuse where the victim is usually given something, whether food, money, drugs, alcohol or gifts, in exchange for sexual activity with the abuser.
 

Serious and organised crime gangs

Serious and organised crime, including human trafficking, modern slavery, car theft, fraud and violence can ruin many people's lives - and the profits from those crimes fund many other crimes.
