------------------------------------------------------------
You can pass information to us in the following ways:
------------------------------------------------------------

(1). Report in person at the front desk of Barton Police Station, or by phoning 101.

(2). Report anonymously via CrimeStoppers by ringing 0800 555 111, or on their website.

(3). You can pass information directly to the Barton Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) by taking part in a short 5-minute Humber Talking survey. Please copy and paste this link into a web browser to access the survey: https://forms.office.com/e/BME3ig11BE

The survey helps us identify the key issues in the community. Even if you have previously completed the survey, local issues change so the more responses we receive, the better understanding we have of what matters to you. This will help us to know where to focus our attention. Please complete the survey yourselves, and forward to your friends, family, or any clubs, groups or organisations you may be part of.

As we are only a small Neighbourhod team, we rely heavily on the eyes and ears of the community to provide us with information to help make Barton a safer place to live.
