This website is run by the Single Online Home (SOH) platform and uses national templates. The content is a mix of national and local.
National content is managed by the SOH team, local content is managed by the individual forces. Responsibility for the accessibility compliance of the national content sits with the SOH team; individual forces are responsible for the accessibility compliance of their local content.
We want everyone to be able to use this website. You might have a better experience if you change the settings on your computer to suit your needs. The site has been built so that you should be able to:
We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.
AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use.
We know some parts of this website aren’t fully accessible.
It is not possible to identify the location when reporting a road traffic incident for people using some assistive technologies or keyboard navigation. We recommend calling 101 if you have difficulties with the online process.
On search results pages the purpose of some of the links may not be clear to screen reader users.
Some of the link text on the Your Area pages is not underlined and is only distinguished by the use of colour.
Most older PDF documents aren’t fully accessible to screen readers. However, users can request accessible versions. The optional downloadable PDFs created after users complete any of our forms also aren't yet fully accessible for screen readers.
Some content on our website is not available unless JavaScript is enabled, for example forms, find a police station and maps.
On pages with breadcrumb navigation the Skip to Main Content link takes you to this navigation, rather than the start of the main content which follows immediately after the breadcrumbs.
Some forms on the site include repeated headings with the same text content, which may cause confusion for people navigating using assistive technologies.
It isn’t possible to resize the text in the Live Chat area, and the survey that sometimes appears at the end of the chat may be difficult to use with keyboard navigation.
If you can't access something you need on this site, please tell us about it and we will get you what you need in another way.

Humberside Police is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.
Find out more about the technical accessibility standards we follow.
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.
It is not possible to identify the location of a road traffic incident using keyboard to navigate. This doesn’t meet success criterion 2.1.1 Keyboard (Level A). We aim to fix this by the end of December 2025.
Some of the links in the Your Area pages are not underlined and use colour alone to distinguish them. This doesn’t meet criterion 1.4.1 Use of colour (Level A).
The purpose of the page number links in the pagination on Search Results pages may not be clear from reading the link text alone or by reading the link text with programmatically associated link context. This doesn’t meet criterion 2.4.4 Link purpose (in context) (Level A).
It isn’t possible to resize the text in the Live Chat area. This doesn’t meet criterion 1.4.4 Resize text (Level AA).
We aim to fix these issues by the end of December 2024, unless otherwise specified.
On pages with breadcrumb navigation the Skip to Main Content link takes you to this navigation rather than the start of the main content. This doesn't meet success criterion 2.4.1 Bypass Blocks (Level A). We do not plan to fix this.
Some forms on the site include repeated headings with the same text content. This doesn't meet success criterion 2.4.6 Headings and Labels (Level AA). We do not plan to fix this.
PDFs may not be suitable for users of assistive technology. We are in the process of replacing or fixing any PDF and Word documents which are essential to our services, however users can request accessible versions.
With a few exceptions, all new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards. All new documents that aren’t accessible will be clearly identified, and we will provide an accessible version wherever possible.
After users complete some of our forms they are given the option to download a copy of their data in PDF format. We know that these PDFs are not currently fully accessible to screen readers. Building accessible PDFs is part of our future development plans and is being reviewed.
Many of our older PDFs and Word documents are not fully accessible, for example, they may not be easy to read using a screen reader.
We aim to have replaced or fixed any PDF and Word documents which are essential to our services, like forms published as Word documents.
The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they’re not essential to providing our services. For example, we don’t plan to fix every older non-essential document like old campaign PDFs.
