Getting help, reporting knife crime and ditching knives


Knife and weapon bins

There are many knife surrender bins across the West Midlands for you to ditch knives anonymously.

Reporting knife crime

If you want to report knife crime, you can contact West Midlands Police at any time. You can do this by using the Live Chat facility, which can be accessed by going on the website.

If Live Chat is unavailable, you can call 101. But, remember if the incident is happening now call 999.
