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:

Divisional Firearms Officers

Divisional Firearms Officers (DFOs) work out in the 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, facilitate firearm safety courses and provide advice regarding firearm disposal and recovery. If you wish to get in contact with your local DFO, you can find further contact details and information on our Divisional firearms officers page.
