What do we do with your information?

Our call handlers will check that the report contains no information that might identify you.
The report is sent to the relevant authority, who will deal with the information. This could be your local police force or an agency such as Customs or Immigration.
They have the legal responsibility to investigate crimes, make arrests and charge people in order to bring them to justice.
