TO protect people from unwanted sexual behaviour and other acts that make people feel uncomfortable or unsafe on public transport, Victoria Police have launched the STOPIT text-based reporting service.

The new service will allow commuters who experience or witness these behaviours to text ‘STOPIT’ to 0499 455 455 and receive a link to a digital form where they can provide details of their experience, which will then be sent to a dedicated team of transit police to review and follow-up.
