If you want to report anonymously

CrimeStoppers is our anonymous reporting service for all types of criminal behaviour. You can contact them on 0800 555 111 or fill out the CrimeStoppers online form.

For mediation support

In some situations, you may want to use The Essex Restorative and Mediation Service. This is a free, voluntary process, run by the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner. They provide victims with a chance to tell the other party how they feel about what has happened. It can show the responsible person the real impact their actions have on other people.
