From Sunday 5 April 2020, the community will be able to submit a report via www.pfes.nt.gov.au/forms/report-online for incidents requiring non-urgent police assistance.

Anyone in an emergency situation is still urged to call 000 or 131 444 for police assistance.

Once an online report is submitted, it is assigned to an officer to review and progress with a police report. As part of this process, the officer will contact the person making the report to confirm the details and request further information if required.

This online reporting capability will help the public avoid making unnecessary trips when they need to stay home to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
