Crime reporting and protecting your community
Help if you are a victim of crime
If you are a victim of crime, help is not far away:
Safe Places
Our Safe Place Scheme gives vulnerable people a place to go if they are feeling lost, scared or confused when out in their local community.
You will be looked after by people who care, and they will get help from someone you trust.
All businesses who are part of the scheme will display a Safe Place sticker in their window.
To find a safe place near you, select the area you live in:
Ask for Angela
Ask for Angela helps to raise awareness of sexual violence and abuse. The aim is to stop harassment that is sometimes experienced across late night venues.
If you are feeling unsafe or threatened whilst on a date, you can alert the bar staff by asking for Angela. The bar staff will then defuse the situation or arrange to get you home safely.
All bars and pubs who are part of the scheme will display a poster in their public toilets.
To find premises that have signed up to Ask For Angela, select an area below:
