If you are reporting a live incident that is happening now, could cause harm, or is a crime in progress, do not use this app.
Call 999 if there is danger to life or a crime is happening now. Call 101 to report something that has already happened, or that isn't an emergency.
This app is for logging general sightings of off-road bikes to help with patrol planning — it is not monitored in real time and is not a substitute for reporting to the police through official channels.
By continuing you confirm you understand this app is for non-urgent sighting reports only, and that knowingly submitting false reports may be an offence.
The sighting log and pattern dashboard are restricted to verified force accounts. Sign in with your force email to continue.
Demo note: this checks for "police.uk" in the address only. A real version would use proper force single sign-on.

Off-road bikes — Surrons, Talarias, scramblers — are a growing problem in towns and estates across the UK. Riders are fast, unlicensed, and rarely stop. Officers know the pattern from experience, but that knowledge lives in individual heads, not in any system a force can plan around.
Most sightings never get reported at all — 101 takes too long for something that isn't an emergency, and 999 usually isn't appropriate. The reports that do come in rarely get logged in a way that reveals patterns. Forces end up reactive: chasing individual calls instead of planning around known hotspots and times.
A quick, low-friction way for the public and officers to log a sighting in seconds — then turns scattered reports into a live picture: where, when, and how often. Patrols get planned around evidence, not guesswork. Single reports stay unconfirmed; only corroborated, repeated sightings surface as genuine hotspots, so the data stays trustworthy.
No new hardware, no lengthy procurement, no personal data processed in the public-facing reporting tier. It's built to sit alongside existing systems, not replace them — a cheap, fast pilot rather than a multi-year software programme.
Silversight is built by a serving UK neighbourhood policing officer who deals with exactly this problem on shift — not a vendor guessing at what officers need. It's shaped around what the public raise at community meetings, asking neighbourhood teams what can be done about it, and what a sergeant actually wants to see on a Monday morning.
Every non-urgent sighting logged here is one that doesn't tie up a 101 call handler. That capacity goes back into answering genuinely urgent and high-risk calls faster — a real saving in time and cost for the force, not just a convenience for the public.
