Assistant Chief Constable Nigel Brookes said it was wrong to have a police station sign with the message.
The sign listed rape next to fraud and traffic accidents as non-emergencies victims could report online.Kent Police said the advice had been part of its Click B4 U Call campaign, which encouraged people to use its website to free up call handlers.
The poster, which was put up by a member of police staff at Maidstone station, had since been taken down, the force said.The poster was put up by a member of police staff at Maidstone station Kent Police and Crime Commissioner Matthew Scott had described the sign as "completely wrong and totally inappropriate".
He said: "It's not the view of me as police and crime commissioner and it's not the view of Kent Police." Speaking to BBC Politics South East, ACC Brookes said: "A member of staff was trying to offer an alternative way in which people could contact the police."I want to make it absolutely clear that doesn't reflect our force position around rape or sexual assault.Follow BBC South East on
