Report Crime

Crimes should not be reported to Neighbourhood Watch Ryde District (or any Neighbourhood Watch entity, for that matter).

Please report to the police as depicted below. If an incident is not reported to the police, it may not be acted upon or investigated nor reported in the NHW Newsletters.

This page can assist in determining how to report crime within New South Wales.

In an emergency, or if a crime is happening now.

Call Triple Zero (000). Triple zero calls are free.

Is someone seriously injured or in need of urgent medical help?
Is your life or property being threatened?
Have you just witnessed a serious accident or crime?
