How to Make a Dashcam Report to Police in the UK

Report to the police force covering the place where the incident happened. Keep the unedited file and be ready to provide a factual witness account.

A dashcam report to police should go to the force responsible for the location of the incident. Many forces provide an online route for footage of dangerous driving; availability and requirements vary, so start with the relevant force rather than sending a clip to a manufacturer.

Common questions

Questions before you buy

Where do I submit dashcam footage to the police?

Use the online reporting route for the police force covering the location of the incident. If no upload route is available, ask that force for instructions.

Can I report dangerous driving caught on dashcam?

Yes, footage may be submitted for police consideration. It must show the incident clearly, and submission does not guarantee enforcement action.

Should dashcam footage be edited before submission?

Keep the original, unedited file. Follow the force's directions about clip length, format and any additional upload.

Will the police consider my own driving in the video?

Yes. Official guidance notes that footage can show offences by the person recording as well as by the reported driver.
