The online reporting system should only be used to report incidents that do not require immediate police attention. All incidents reported online will be reviewed by police personnel before your report will be accepted. Once your report has been approved, a case number will be assigned and you will receive a PDF copy of the official police report as an email attachment (email address is required to receive a free copy of the report). If further investigation is needed, you may be contacted by police personnel.
Reports that are incomplete or do not meet the minimum reporting requirements as specified above will be rejected.
