Changes To Lost Property Reporting - From 1 October 2018
------------------------------------------------------------------------
From Monday 1 October 2018, South Yorkshire Police will no longer take
reports or record lost property and will not issue lost property
reference numbers. This is a national decision and with the exception of
foreign ID documents (including passports), or items classed as
‘dangerous’ such as firearms, all police forces in England and Wales
will no longer take reports of lost property.
We will instead be directing members of the public to
www.reportmyloss.com <http://www.reportmyloss.com/> where for a small
cost, they will be able to get a reference number for insurance purposes.
Lost property is not a police matter, so there is no legal requirement
to report it to us or for the police to maintain a system of recording
non-evidential property.
The decision to stop taking these reports will reduce demand on enquiry
desk staff and our call handlers who take on average 11,000 reports per
year, 4,000 of them over the phone. This will save more than 300 hours
of staff time each year.
For more information on this and ways to protect your property, please
visit our website link below, where a letter can be downloaded if needed
for your insurance.
