Operation Stovewood

New Online Portal For Submitting Information 

It is now easier for members of the public to provide information directly to the team investigating child sexual abuse in Rotherham between 1997-2013. A portal accessible at https://mipp.police.uk means information can be provided by members of the public without them needing to pick up the phone or go into a police station - something that we hope will encourage people to come forward.

The portal is hosted on the Home Office Large Major Enquiry System (HOLMES) – it’s a national IT system used by UK law enforcement for the investigation of complex major incidents and serious crimes such as murder, serial offences, high value and cross-border crime and allows officers to manage huge amounts of information and intelligence.
