Dorset Police is advising the public it can't be contacted through its website, due to the ongoing issue with Microsoft.
In a statement on social media, the force said: "Due to a global Microsoft service issue, we are currently unable to receive online form submissions.
"Until this is resolved, if your report is time-critical but not an emergency, please dial 101.
"If your report can wait until Microsoft restores its service, please submit an online form once you are able to do so.
"If a crime is in progress, or a life is in danger, call 999."
