I want to report a crime without giving my name — where?
Every country has an anonymous reporting line — Poliția Română — sesizare anonimă / 112 (112) — that passes tips to the police without recording who called: drug production, weapons, human trafficking, a wanted person, a fraud you have seen at work. Your identity is not taken, and the report cannot be traced back. For a crime in progress or danger to life, call Primăria — Poliția Locală / registratură (primariile.ro) — you can still refuse to give your name. Non-criminal nuisances (illegal dumping, unlicensed businesses, noise) go to DGASPC — servicii de sprijin pentru victimele infracțiunilor / 116 006 (116 006), which also accepts anonymous reports.
🗣️ What to say

❓ Frequently asked
Will the police contact me?
Not through the anonymous line — they cannot. If you want to be a witness later, report directly instead.
Is reporting anonymously less effective?
Tips are cross-checked with other information; many searches start with an anonymous tip. Detail makes the difference.
I am scared of the person
Anonymous reporting exists for that. Consider also telling Primăria — Poliția Locală / registratură if you feel threatened; victim support can advise.
