  • What he meant is this;

    Is it an emergency?

    Does it feel like the situation could get heated or violent very soon? Is someone in immediate >danger? Do you need support right away? If so, please call 999 now.

    When I was assaulted, I couldn't call, and there was no one about, so after 15 minutes to recover, I end up limping it to the nearest police station in Peckham to report it.

  • No I understand that but twitter is social media, it is for conversations and announcements, not for reporting crimes. The staff that deal with manning twitter are not going to be the same ones taking reports. If you can't report it on the phone, you unfortunately will have to visit a station I guess.
    How can you report an assault in 140 characters?

  • visit a station

    Recent MOPAC public consultation, (How can we convince the Citizenry that one Police Station per London Borough is adequate), was based upon the declining number of visits to 'front desks'.
    (Nothing to do with, say zero provision for traffic patrol officers requiring likely lookers to show tax & insurance within 7 days, or the myriad of other uses a Police Station used to have, before, say in the case of Ruislip Police Station, it went to volunteers 'manning' it, only over lunchtime).
