Police

Reporting a hate crime or hate incident to the police:

When you report the incident, the police will record what happened. They’ll usually only investigate the incident if a crime has happened – for example, if you’ve been assaulted. 

The police might also investigate if you’ve experienced more than one hate incident – for example, if someone keeps harassing you. If you’re in this situation, you should report each incident to the police so they have a record.

It’s a good idea to contact a hate crime support service before you report the incident to the police.

The support service can help you work out what to say in your report. This will help the police be successful if they investigate the crime.

After you report the incident, the support service can also help you contact the police about your case.
