Helpful Tips

Just report to us what you personally saw, or know. Please don’t give opinions or conclusions. If you have any idea who did the crime or there are any witnesses, you will need to speak to an officer.

If you can locate model and serial numbers for your lost or stolen property, we can enter it in the national databases. Please estimate as best you can the fair market value for the property, or the dollar amount of damage done.

We've provided all the allowable choices in the drop-downs and outlines. If it doesn't fit, then you cannot report it online. Certain fields are mandatory entries that require input before we can file the form.

Upon submission of your report you will receive a notification e-mail letting you know your report has been received. We will have one of our supervisors review the submitted report. If all the necessary information is provided, the report will be approved and you will receive a report number via e-mail, along with a link/attachment to the report. If information is missing or your report narrative is incomplete you will be contacted via e-mail and requested to submit additional information.

You are responsible for making sure whatever you report to us, whether by phone, in person, or online is true and correct to the best of your knowledge. Filing a false police report is a crime.
