File a police report online for a minor crime
Provided by: Raleigh Police Department (City of Raleigh)
Raleigh Police lets you file some reports online when no suspect is present, such as theft from a vehicle, lost or stolen property, or minor property damage.
Ways to do it
- Citizens Online Police Reporting System: https://crc.raleighpd.org/
- Raleigh Police non-emergency: call 919-829-1911 (If your situation doesn’t fit the online categories.)
Steps online (phone, tablet or computer)
- Open the online police reporting system and choose the type of report.
- Fill in what happened, when and where.
- Submit, then print or save the temporary copy of your report.
Good to know
- Online report types include credit card theft, identity theft, damage to property or vehicles, harassing phone calls, lost property, stolen property, theft from a vehicle, and hit-and-runs with damage under $1,000.
- The department reviews each online report before it issues a permanent report number.
