Reporting crime

How to report crime and get the right support

When people report crime, it strengthens community safety for everyone. Learn how to identify what should be reported, who to contact, and how to share information confidently and securely.

Why reporting crime matters

Reporting crime plays an important role in keeping our communities safe. When incidents go unreported, police and support services may not be aware of emerging issues, repeat behaviour, or problem areas. Reporting helps authorities respond appropriately, increase patrols where needed, and prevent further harm. It also supports victims by connecting them to help and resources.

Even if an incident seems small or has already happened, your report can provide valuable information that helps protect others and improve safety across the NT.
