Please continue to keep your wits about you when out and about, Stay together and never leave anyone alone or in a situation where they become vulnerable.

If you are heading "out out", please can we ask you to go home swiftly when the clubs close as often this can be a time when crowds gather and some people get up to mischief!!

We want your night to end well, with you safe at home in bed and not in one of our custody vans.. they are not very comfortable!

Beware of scam calls from fraudsters falsely claiming to be from the "Sussex Police Cyber Crime Unit" ⚠️

On Saturday (10 October), we became aware of scammers targeting members of the public and requesting personal information, including passwords and other sensitive details.

It has been reported that the caller ID may appear to show a legitimate police phone number, however, these calls are being made from alternative sources.

Remember 👉 Sussex Police will never ask for your passwords, bank details, PIN numbers or other sensitive financial information over the phone.

These fraudsters may change the name of the police unit they claim to be from, so remain vigilant.

We would like to reassure the public that our phone lines are operating as normal.

If you receive a suspicious call claiming to be from Sussex Police, let us know. You can do this by filling an online reporting form. Alternatively, you can contact us by calling 101.
