I would also like to encourage all students at BPA to contact the police if they have been the victim of crime, and also if they have any information about a crime that has been committed. However we understand that students may be fearful of being seen talking to the police. If this is the case then you can pass information to the police anonymously using Crimestoppers. Visit the website at www.crimestoppers-uk.org. or call anonymously on 0800 555 111.
