Notes

NC3 site was in maintenance and lists an email (reporting@nccc.gov.sl) for incident reports; police cybercrime unit not confirmed on an official page.
Unit named in Sierra Leone Police news items and Council of Europe material, but the police homepage lists no cyber unit; only a general contact form, tip submission and 900 emergency line were seen.

Lost money? Call your bank first

The bank can often stop a transfer if it hears from you quickly. See the official fraud lines in how to report bank fraud in Sierra Leone.

Names and links were checked against official government or FIRST/ITU sources. Agencies are renamed and reorganised often, so check the official site before relying on it. See all countries in the cyber agencies directory.
