SOUTH YORKSHIRE POLICE - ONLINE REPORTING SERVICE

South Yorkshire residents are now able to contact the police in more ways than ever before, after South Yorkshire Police launched an online reporting portal to enhance its digital offering.

The online portal, which can be accessed through the 'Report Something' page of the SYP website, houses 50 reporting forms and provides the ability to live chat with the force for the first time. In addition to this, residents can log on to the portal to track the status of their previous reports and read supporting knowledge items relating to incidents.

The online portal makes reporting to the force easier than ever before, with 50 reporting forms available covering topics on animal & wildlife, antisocial behaviour, environmental issues, road & traffic issues, sexual incidents, burglary, damage & theft, violence related incidents and welfare & suspicious incidents. Each form has a supporting knowledge bank item for members of the public to read about their issue and understand the best way to proceed with reporting.
