A flier put out by Kent Police near one of their stations in Great Britain listed “rape” as a non-emergency incident, enraging women’s rights advocates.

The BBC reported Wednesday that a flier posted near Maidstone Police station in the UK informed residents which “non-emergency inquires” could be made to Kent Police via their website, naming “rape and sexual assault” among them.

This was also the same non-emergency channel that catered to “compliments and complaints” from patrons.

An image of the document went viral, enraging women and activists who couldn’t believe the crime could be downgraded to a less urgent category.

The BBC article stated, “Kent Police has come under fire for displaying a sign listing rape and sexual assault as ‘non-emergency’ crimes in a police station.”

It shared a picture of the sign as it appeared in a social media post, which read, “The following non-emergency enquiries can be reported online via the Kent Police website.”

The BBC noted that the document was part of Kent Police’s “Click B4 U Call campaign,” which it said, “encouraged people, where suitable, to use online reporting to free up call handlers.”

The outlet quoted Women’s Equality Party chief executive Catherine Smith, who slammed the flier. She declared, “There needs to be a human involved in speaking to the people who experience this. It demonstrates that the police are not prioritizing this crime, and it sends a message to women that what happened to them is not something serious.”

After seeing the BBC report Wednesday, Kent Police and Crime Commissioner Matthew Scott expressed regret on Twitter, writing, “This poster was completely wrong and totally inappropriate. It should never have been put up and was rightly taken down. Rape and domestic abuse have never been a ‘non-emergency.’ I will always ensure they are treated with the seriousness they deserve.”
