National Dash Cam Safety Portal: How UK Reports Work

The National Dash Cam Safety Portal helps direct road-incident footage to participating police forces. Use the route for the area where the incident occurred and read that force's requirements first.

The National Dash Cam Safety Portal is a signposting service for sending road-incident footage to participating UK police forces. It is not a substitute for emergency contact: when there is an immediate threat to life or a crime in progress, follow the emergency instructions published by the relevant force.

Common questions

Questions before you buy

What is the National Dash Cam Safety Portal?

It routes members of the public towards participating police-force processes for reporting road incidents captured on video.

Which police force should receive dash-cam footage?

Follow the instructions for the force covering the place where the incident happened. Local submission rules can differ.

What information is needed with a dash-cam report?

Expect to provide incident time and location, vehicle details, your contact details and the original digital footage. Check the receiving force's current list before submitting.

Does submitting footage guarantee police action?

No. The relevant force assesses the report and evidence under its procedures; an upload does not guarantee a particular outcome.
