Kent Police sign lists rape, domestic abuse, as ‘non-emergency’ crime

Kent Police has come under fire for displaying a sign listing rape and sexual assault as “non-emergency” crimes in a police station.

The A4 printout urged Maidstone residents to report “non-emergency enquiries” via an online form.

The list included anti-social behaviour, missing persons and fraud.

Police said it was part of their Click B4 U Call campaign, which encouraged people, where suitable, to use online reporting to free up call handlers.
