The Interwebs Come to the Rescue (Maybe)
The good news, my Denver friends, is that the Denver Police Department offers an online police report filing system. That's right, you can ditch the hold music and report certain crimes from the comfort of your couch (or while hiding from the aforementioned squirrel army).
But here's the catch: This online system isn't for everything. It's more like a digital "Lost and Found" for specific crimes.
QuickTip: Stop to think as you go.
Not All Crimes Are Created Equal (Especially When It Comes to Online Reporting)
So, what kind of whodunit can you report online? Here's a quick rundown:
- The Case of the Missing Masterpiece (Petty Theft): Did someone swipe your grandma's porcelain cat collection? You can file online!
- The Phantom of the Forged Signature (Identity Theft): Think someone's been living it up under your identity? Report it online (but also consider contacting the credit bureaus).
- The Menace of the Midnight Vandal (Criminal Mischief): Did your mailbox become the target of some late-night bowling practice? File online!
However, if your situation involves:
QuickTip: Scroll back if you lose track.
- A crime in progress: Ditch the computer and dial 911 immediately!
- A violent crime: Get help! Report it to the police in person or by phone.
- A known suspect: This might be better suited for a traditional police report.
Remember, the online system is for non-violent, non-emergency situations.
