CrimeChime is a public crime-reporting register and database allowing persons with RICA-registered South African cell-phone numbers to report crimes within South Africa. Crimes can be reported regardless of whether they occurred 5 minutes ago or 5 years ago. Reporting is done either via the CrimeChime website at www.crimechime.co.za or via CrimeChime’s dedicated iOS (Apple) and Android (Google) apps. Users complete a standardised form which typically takes less than 5 minutes to complete.
