Police

Please do not use the generic email below to report crimes. Call 911 for emergencies or ongoing incidents. For other crimes, please visit our Report a Crime page.

The goal of the Raleigh Police Department is to make Raleigh one of the safest cities in America. To do that, we continually advance strategies that prevent crime. We find ways to engage the community in taking steps that help minimize opportunities for victimization. We explore appropriate policy direction with the Mayor and City Council. We seek solutions to the complex community problems that contribute to crime and disorder.
