How to report a crime
The police and University Security Services work together to keep Leeds students as safe as possible.
If you witness a crime, or are a victim of a crime, you should always report it to both the police and University Security Services.
Reporting a crime to the police
By phone
- Emergencies – call 999
- Non-emergencies – call 101
Online
In a non-emergency situation, you can report a crime online or talk to the police using the 101 live chat system.
If you're a victim of crime it's important to report it, even if it seems minor.
You will need a crime number from the police if you want to make a claim on your insurance.
