When it comes to addressing antisocial behaviour (ASB), it’s crucial to have effective channels to report incidents and concerns. The following methods provide you with various ways to report ASB, ensuring that your community remains a safe and harmonious place:
COPA App (Cleveland Online Policing App)
The Cleveland Online Policing App (COPA) introduces a modern approach to connect with Cleveland Police and the Police and Crime Commissioner. This user-friendly app can be downloaded onto mobile phones, enabling the public to conveniently and swiftly submit information related to policing and community safety matters.
It also serves as a platform to ask questions and provide feedback. COPA’s development involved thorough testing by a user group, ensuring its accessibility and ease of use.
COPA is a reliable tool to use to report Antisocial behaviour. The information you report is sent into Cleveland Police control room and dealt with by the force.
Crimestoppers
If you wish to report ASB anonymously, Crimestoppers is an invaluable resource. While Crimestoppers primarily handles information about severe, criminal, or risky antisocial behaviour, it’s an option to consider. Remember, if ASB falls within these categories, your input can make a difference.
Local Authorities, Social Housing Landlords, and Police
For addressing ASB, you have local authorities, social housing landlords, and the police at your disposal. These entities hold the authority to manage and investigate reports of antisocial behaviour. Regardless of your tenure, whether you’re a tenant, leaseholder, homeowner, or private renter, you have options for reporting and dealing with ASB effectively.
Maintaining Records
Keeping a record of incidents and behaviours associated with ASB is crucial. These records provide valuable information for investigations and interventions. If you’re facing ASB, documenting the occurrences will aid in addressing the issue promptly.

We understand that reporting ASB may come with concerns about anonymity. Crimestoppers’ 100% anonymous reporting service is available for all types of criminal behaviour.
