When neighbors look out for each other, everyone is safer.
PLEASE REPORT CRIME
If a crime is in process or you have an emergency, always call 911. Don’t assume that someone else has already called.
Philly 311
Philly311 is Philadelphia’s system for dealing with a variety of urban problems that are not emergencies. These may include:
- Street issues like abandoned cars, fallen trees, potholes or traffic signal problems;
- Building issues like fire and safety violations, vacant buildings, structures in danger of collapse, or people doing construction without a permit; and
- Trash issues like graffiti, illegal dumping, missed trash or recycling collection, or messy vacant lots.
You can submit a 311 request by calling 3-1-1, emailing Philly311@phila.gov, or tweeting @philly311. You can also download the Philly311 app.
