Police Information Point

Manned PIP's are staffed by Police Support Volunteers, who can direct people to local services, issue police forms to the public, receive and record lost and stolen property, and make appointments for visitors to speak to their neighbourhood officers.

There are some tasks that PSV's aren't authorised to do, such as taking reports of crime, dealing with people reporting on bail, road traffic collisions and checking vehicle documents.

A Police Information Point (or PIP) is a manned or unmanned place of information about local policing that are run by British police forces for the benefit of local residents.
