REPORTING
PROCEDURES FOR REPORTING TO SAPS
When reporting a crime, please remain calm and give police this information slowly over the phone:
1) Identify yourself by name, address and telephone number.
2) Identify the type of incident (burglary, assault, suspicious persons or vehicles, etc.).
3) Describe if a crime is “in progress” or “has occurred”. Be sure to note time of occurrence.
4) Describe the location. Be as specific as possible! Try to have an address for the police when you report. If an address is not available, have the street name, names of intersecting streets, and a specific description of the house or area in which you have observed a problem.
5) Give as complete a description as possible of a vehicle that may have been used by the culprit(s) in the commission of the crime you are reporting, including cars, motorcycles, bicycles, etc.
6) Give as complete a description as possible of the culprit(s) involved, including any associates also observed, and information regarding any weapons that might also be involved.
7) Give the direction of travel (north, south, east or west).
8) Finally, try to remain on the telephone and assist the dispatcher as much as possible until you are no longer needed. The more information you give the police the better.
