## Caption

Dating apps have become a common way for people to connect, and while many users have a positive experience, police have received an increase in reports of people being sexually assaulted after meeting in person. ⁣
⁣
In concerning trends identified by investigators, this can include rape, sexual or inappropriate touching and sexual harassment. ⁣
⁣
We want to make it clear that any form of sexual offending is completely unacceptable, and consent can be given or withdrawn, at any time, for any reason. ⁣
⁣
If you experience any form of sexual offending linked to the use of dating apps, please contact police.⁣
⁣
Police can request information from dating apps to assist in solving sexual offence investigations and can also conduct a criminal investigation even where one party has blocked or deleted someone from the app.⁣
⁣
We have dedicated specialist detectives who investigate all forms of sexual offences. To make a report, contact your local police station or Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team (SOCIT).⁣
 ⁣
It is never too late to report an incident. ⁣
