Poaching in progress, an animal attacking livestock or people, an injured or distressed animal, or any wildlife incident requiring urgent KWS attention. Choose the channel that works fastest for you — all three reach the same 24/7 dispatch desk.
What's Happening
Choosing a category gives you specific guidance on what to do right now and which channel gets the fastest response — but in any genuine emergency, calling 0800 597 000 is always correct.
Online Incident Report
Use this form for non-urgent reports, to add detail after a phone call, or when you have photos and precise location data to share. Every submission receives a reference number for tracking.
If your situation is unfolding right now and involves danger to people, call 0800 597 000 instead — this form is reviewed by dispatch staff but is not monitored second-by-second.
Privacy note: You may submit reports anonymously by leaving the contact fields blank. Anonymous reports are acted on identically to identified ones, but we cannot send you a status update without a contact method.
Response Process
Every report — phone, WhatsApp, SMS, or online form — enters the same dispatch system and follows this path. Critical incidents skip directly to step 3.
Regional Dispatch Centres
0800 597 000 reaches a national call centre that routes to the regional centre covering your location automatically — you don't need to know which one to call.
