Crimestoppers - 0800 555 111
There may be times when you want to report an incident, or give
us information to help us solve crimes, but you don't want anyone
to know who you are.
If this is the case you can call Crimestoppers. They are a UK
charity, independent of the police, which means if you call them,
you won't have to give your name. It also means you won't have to
give evidence or go to court.
You can also contact us via email on commcen@merseyside.pnn.police.uk,
we will endeavour to respond to your email as soon as possible.
Please DO NOT use this as a point of contact in
an emergency, please call 999.
