The Vancouver Police Department has an easy and convenient way for citizens to report low level crimes 24 hours a day. Just visit our website at www.vanpolice.org and file a report online. The online reporting system allows citizens the opportunity to file a low level crime report at a time and place that is convenient and with less chance of error since the citizen inputs the information themselves. Completing a low level crime report online gets the information into the electronic police reporting system faster and provides the Vancouver Police Department an automated way to inform citizens of the status of their report as soon as information becomes available.
The following crimes can be reported online:
o Theft or malicious mischief involving
loss of damage of $1500 or less
o Vehicle prowls
o Lost property
Do not file an online police report if there is suspect information, physical evidence is available (fingerprints, items left behind), firearms were involved (whether used by a suspect or taken in a theft), or a motor vehicle was stolen. For these crimes or if the crime is of a serious nature please call 9-1-1.
In an effort to improve timely access to Vancouver Police services we offer this online reporting option as one more tool for citizens to report crime. If you do not feel comfortable using this service and would rather speak to a Vancouver Police Department staff member please call the precinct nearest you (precincts are open Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. - 6 p.m., except holidays) Central Precinct- 735-8800 East Precinct - 696-8100
