Since the StreetSafe online tool was launched on 2 September 2021 to date (1 December 2022), 22,939 reports have been submitted. The Home Office does not hold information on how many reports have resulted in action. Addressing concerns reported via the tool is an operational matter for the Police and other agencies, such as Local Authorities.

StreetSafe has been developed in cooperation with the Home Office and the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC). It is managed by the NPCC Digital Public Contact Programme, funded by the Home Office. I can confirm that enhancing StreetSafe to enable reporting of public transport/infrastructure is being considered by policing as a high priority item and timescales will be agreed with the Home Office as part of the Programme’s Grant funding process for 2023/24.
