The best way to report crime in Bardney, a built-up area (BUA) within West Lindsey, depends on the urgency of the situation. For emergencies requiring immediate police attention – such as a crime in progress, a serious injury, or a threat to life – always dial 999. Provide the operator with your location (Bardney), the nature of the emergency, and any relevant details.
For incidents that don’t require an immediate response, such as theft where the suspect has already left, or damage to property, you can report online through the Humberside Police website (www.humberside.police.uk). This is often the most efficient way to ensure your report is logged and investigated. You can also call 101, the non-emergency police number, to report these types of incidents.
Bardney has a crime rate of 78.4 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is lower than the UK average of 91.6 incidents per 1,000. Furthermore, Bardney boasts a safety score of 82 out of 100, which is also above the UK average of 79. While these figures suggest a relatively safe environment, it's still essential to report any criminal activity to help maintain community safety and allow the police to allocate resources effectively.
When reporting, be prepared to provide as much detail as possible, including the date, time, location, description of the incident, and any suspect information. If possible, retain any evidence related to the crime. The online reporting system will guide you through the necessary information. For information about ongoing investigations or previous reports, you may need to contact the West Lindsey District Council or local community groups. Consider joining or supporting a local Neighbourhood Watch scheme, if one exists, to further contribute to community safety and crime prevention in Bardney.
