Reporting crime

Police need your help to identify offenders. If we don’t know about it, we can’t act.

If anyone is in danger, a crime is currently occurring, or you need immediate police attendance, please call Triple Zero (000).

If there is no immediate danger:

• call our Police Assistance Line on 131 444 to report non-urgent crime
• submit an anonymous online report through the Crime Stoppers Victoria website, or call 1800 333 000. 

Divisional Firearms Officers

Divisional Firearms Officers (DFOs) work in Victoria Police regions to support the firearms community and ensure safe storage and use of firearms.

They conduct inspections of firearm storage in the regions and provide advice about firearm disposal and recovery.
