Use it for incidents, not targeting people.
These rules are designed to keep rapid community reporting useful while reducing false accusations, harassment and misuse.
Report what you observed
Reports should describe observable behaviour or an incident. Do not submit a report solely because of somebody’s race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, clothing, language, accent or perceived immigration status.
No identification or pursuit
Do not use the service to identify, dox, follow, confront or coordinate against an individual. Public map locations are approximate and must not be treated as a request to approach anyone.
Accuracy
Community reports may be wrong, incomplete or unverified. A map marker or alert is not a finding that a crime occurred or that any particular person committed an offence. Deliberately false or malicious reports may be removed and accounts/devices may be restricted.
Emergencies
This service is not an emergency service and does not replace the police. If someone is in immediate danger or a crime is in progress, call 999. For non-emergency police matters, use the appropriate official reporting channel.
Evidence uploads
Only upload material you reasonably believe is relevant to the incident. Do not upload intimate imagery, private communications or unrelated personal information. Evidence may be withheld from public display, redacted or removed.
