The easiest way to make a 105 online report without anyone knowing about it is to complete the report in a private/incognito window/tab or to delete or erase your browsing history after you have completed the report. This will enable you to hide your internet activity so no one else using your computer or device will know you have contacted Police. Alternatively you could use a public computer at a library or ask to use someone else’s device.

You can find more information about hiding your online activity here:

If you’re concerned for your own or someone else’s safety, please don’t hesitate to contact Police. We encourage you to use whatever means you prefer to reach out to us (which may be online via 105). If you can't decide if it's an emergency and you're still worried, call 111 and ask us. We'll help you work out what to do.

Remember you can always report a crime or get advice by visiting your local Police station and speaking to the person at the front counter. You may be able to speak to an officer straight away, and are welcome to bring a support person with you.
