Types Of Reports Generated

The online police report system is designed to allow the public to submit two different types of reports, “Information Reports” and “Crime Reports”. See the descriptions below for both.

1. INFORMATION REPORT – A tip or information about suspicious or potentially dangerous activity that the reporting person has personally observed or is aware of. Examples of “Information Only” reports include: drug tips, general traffic complaints (does not include traffic accidents), or graffiti. This type of report will be shared with city staff for response as appropriate.

2. CRIME REPORT – A “crime report” is the formal filing of a crime. Crime reports can only be filed online by the victim of the crime and only if the incident meets the criteria listed above under ” Criteria for Submitting an Online Crime Report”. In the absence of suspect(s) or evidence pertaining to the crime being reported, which are both part of the criteria for online reporting, the incident will not be assigned for investigation. Should additional investigative information surface, the case could be reopened.
