The Two Paths to Police Report Nirvana
There are two main ways to file a report in Boston, depending on your situation:
- Become a Station House Regular (In Person): Head down to your local Boston Police station (find a list of stations [here](link to boston police stations list)). Be prepared to tell your thrilling tale to a helpful officer.
Pros: You might get a free cup of coffee (no guarantees, but hey, a man can dream).
Tip: Every word counts — don’t skip too much.
Cons: There might be a wait (perfect time to catch up on the latest celebrity gossip magazines!).
- Channel Your Inner Phone-a-holic (By Calling)
Bad news, my friend: As of now, Boston Police don't accept reports over the phone. So ditch that phone call and dust off your walking shoes (or hop on the T).
What to Bring on Your Police Report Adventure
- Your Narrative Skills: Be prepared to recount your experience in vivid detail. Channel your inner Shakespeare (though maybe hold off on the olde English).
- Patience: Filing a report might take some time.
- Proof of the Crime (Optional, But Helpful): This could be a receipt for stolen goods, a witness statement, or even a security camera clip of the pigeon who stole your fries (seriously, those feathered fiends have no chill).
Important Noteworthy Tidbits
- Reports are Not Accepted Online (Sorry, Techies!)
- Keep a Copy of Your Report: This will be crucial for insurance purposes or future reference.
