Crime/Incident Reports
Filing an online crime/incident report allows you to submit the report immediately without having to wait for an officer to respond. Once the report is approved, you can print a copy of the report for free.
You should NOT file an online crime/incident report if:
- this is an emergency,

the incident involves any of the following:

- hate crime
- sex crime (rape or sexual assault)
- stolen vehicle (theft of a vehicle, trailer, motorcycle)
- lost/stolen license plate
- domestic violence
- assault and battery
- traffic accident involving an injury
If any of the above apply to this incident, please call 831-758-7321 to file a report with an officer.
If the incident you are reporting does not meet any of the above criteria, you can use this system to file an online report. Please make sure to turn off your pop-up blocking software before filing the report.
Upon completion of this report process you will see the words: "Your online police report has been submitted" showing that your police report is complete, and you will be given a temporary case number.
