Anti-Terrorist Hotline

In an emergency, or if you need urgent police assistance, you should always dial 999.

You can also report suspicious activity by contacting the police in confidence on the Anti-Terrorist Hotline: 0800 789 321.

Suspicious activity

Every year thousands of reports from the public help the police keep communities safe from terrorism.

Suspicious activity could include:

• taking delivery of guns without a licence
• stockpiling chemicals, gas cylinders or fertilisers for no obvious reason
• taking photos of security arrangements
• posting content online that glorifies terrorism.

Check the government's Action Counters Terrorism website for more details about suspicious activity, as well as videos and further advice.
