When Reporting a Crime…

When reporting a crime, keep the following items in mind; law enforcement officers will want to know:

  • Who you are
  • Where you are
  • What phone number you are calling from
  • What happened
  • Is anyone injured
  • Are there weapons involved and what kind
  • Is the actor/perpetrator still on the scene
  • What does he/she look like (what are they wearing)
  • Is there a vehicle involved
  • License number, make model, color
  • If leaving, what direction, how many occupants

Remember:

  • Don’t take any risks
  • Don’t try to stop strangers
  • Don’t try to apprrehend suspects
  • Do report all suspicious activity to the police
  • Do report all emergencies to 911
