File a Police Report
A police report is the physical record of an incident deemed to be illegal or potentially illegal. Any JPD officer may file a report, but there are situations when an officer’s presence is not necessary. Using this online incident reporting form allows you to submit a report electronically and receive a confirmation email. Once your report is reviewed, we may contact you with any follow-up questions.
