Report a Non-emergency Crime Online
The Raleigh Police Department has an online crime reporting system that allows members of the community to file seven types of non-emergency police reports online. Eligible reports:
- credit card theft
- identity theft
- damages to property
- damages to vehicles
- harassing phone calls
- lost property
- stolen property
- thefts from vehicle
- hit and runs (damage under $1,000)
You will need to answer a short series of questions to determine if the crime can be accepted through the online reporting service.
Online reporting users will be able to print a temporary copy of their report immediately after it is submitted. Online submissions are reviewed by the department before a permanent report number is issued.
Benefits of Using Online Reporting System
The online reporting system provides a convenient way to report crimes that do not require the presence of an officer, and it increases police productivity by freeing officers to perform other law enforcement activities. In addition, users may find it is a more convenient way to file a police report needed for an insurance claim.
