Make a Police Report

Residents may use our Online Police Report Submission System as a convenient way to file a report for certain minor and non-emergency matters (credit card fraud, criminal damage to property, identity theft, lost property, theft, and vandalism). All reports are reviewed by police and if there is a need for more information or further investigation is required, you will be contacted as quickly as possible.

Please note that this system is not continually monitored. Please call or text 911 immediately if:

• this is an emergency.
• you need police follow-up and/or an officer to respond in person.
• you have additional information to share with the police (e.g., You believe you know who committed a crime or that evidence was left behind).

Please also note filing a false police report is a crime under 720 ILCS 5/26-1(a)(4) and may result in fines and/or imprisonment.
