Online Police Reporting
Some residents may feel they do not have to report petty crimes because there was no suspect seen, the loss was small or of no value, or simply the victim has no time to report it. Reporting crimes, no matter how petty is important to us and the community. Mainly, it allows us to correctly maintain crime statistics track crime series and crime trends. Analyzing crimes also allows Predictive Policing to be more accurate in crime prediction.
For the past five years, the South Pasadena Police Department has the ability to allow residents to make police reports online through its website.
This allows victims to report crimes at their convenience, without having to wait for a police officer.
Online reports receive the same investigation and statistical analysis as any report filed in person with a police officer. If the crime requires further investigation, an officer will contact you.
Not all crimes can be reported online, a list of eligible crimes are listed on the police website under the e-policing section.
Do NOT use the online system to report any emergency or crimes in progress. Remember, filing a false police report whether in person or online is a crime.
