Navigating the Labyrinth: Getting a Baltimore City Police Report
So, you’ve had a run-in with the law in Baltimore. Maybe you were an innocent bystander who got caught in the crossfire of a squirrel heist (it happens more often than you'd think), or perhaps you were the victim of a particularly aggressive panhandler demanding a dollar for a "good luck" scratch-off ticket. Whatever the case, you now need a police report.

The Paper Trail: A Detective Story
Getting a police report in Baltimore is a bit like trying to find Waldo in a crowd of identical-looking hobos. It's a quest, a journey, a wild goose chase. But fear not, intrepid reader, we're here to guide you through this bureaucratic maze.
Tip: Read in a quiet space for focus.
Option 1: Online
QuickTip: Use the post as a quick reference later.
If you're the kind of person who prefers their coffee black and their bureaucracy online, then this is the option for you. Baltimore City Police Department (BCPD) has a website, believe it or not. You can try your luck there. Just be prepared to answer a million questions about the color of the suspect's toenail polish and the exact number of feathers on the pigeon that was watching the whole thing.
QuickTip: Compare this post with what you already know.
Option 2: In Person
QuickTip: Go back if you lost the thread.

If you enjoy the thrill of adventure and the satisfaction of waiting in line for hours, then visiting a police station in person might be your cup of tea. You'll need to bring your A-game, though. Dress for comfort, pack snacks, and maybe even bring a good book. Who knows how long you'll be there?
Option 3: Mail
If you're the patient type, you can request a police report by mail. This is the option for those who enjoy the anticipation of waiting for something to arrive in the mail. Just remember to include a self-addressed stamped envelope, because the BCPD isn’t in the business of paying for postage.
Tips for the Road
- Be Patient: This is Baltimore, people. Things move at a glacial pace.
- Bring Snacks: You might be there a while.
- Dress Comfortably: You never know where this journey will take you.
- Learn to Love Bureaucracy: It’s a skill that will serve you well in life.
How to...
- How to find the nearest police station? Use Google Maps or the BCPD website.
- How to get a copy of a police report online? Visit the BCPD website and follow the instructions.
- How to request a police report by mail? Find the address on the BCPD website and send a written request with the necessary information.
- How to expedite the process? Good luck with that. There's no such thing as "expedite" in Baltimore.
