Reporting crimes committed against you or someone else is an important part in helping to keep yourself, your loved ones, and your community safe. If you have information about a crime that has been or may be committed, or about someone involved in committing a crime, your information may help the police solve crimes and prevent future crimes from happening.

You can report a crime in person, over the telephone, and online. Depending on the urgency, choose the method that best suits your situation and makes you feel the most comfortable.
