Question
How do I know if anyone has read my report? Will there be any action taken on what I report?
Answer
In order for your report to be accepted and a case number assigned it must be reviewed and approved by a police officer.  If you have received the approved report back (which will have a police case number on it) then it means it was read. If police review indicates that further investigation is required then you will be contacted. As a rule, this system is best used for incidents that do not require follow-up investigation.

Question
What if this happened in another town? Can I still file a report using this online police citizen reporting system?

Question
What is a known suspect?

Question
I need to add some more information to my police report. How can I do this?
Answer
Supplemental information can be added to your report by returning to the reporting page. There is an option for adding more information. You will need your case number from the original report. You will be required to type in all of your identifying information, as you did for the first report. This is done to prevent someone else from providing false information to your incident report.
