Your message goes to Sussex Police Control, who’ll deal with your request for the emergency services. As soon as they receive the text, they’ll reply to confirm they've got it and may ask you more questions.

We have partnered with SignVideo to provide a Video Relay Service, which will enable BSL users to report crime via immediate access to online BSL interpretation.
The interpreter will call the relevant police force and provide a live relay interpretation of the crime you are reporting.
