Starting today, citizens of Riley County can again conveniently report certain crimes directly from their computer or phone.
A valid email address and internet access is required to file a report online. Reports can be made directly on the Riley County Police Department website.
“We are excited to now offer an additional method to report crime,” Records Management Supervisor Kari Breault said. “Online reporting allows continued, efficient service to the people of Riley County.” Traditional in-person officer service will not change.
If an incident involves guns, weapons, hazardous materials, threats to public safety, medication, stolen vehicles, or items stolen from vehicles it must be called in to speak with an officer.
Officers will still respond to appropriate emergency situations, crime scenes needing evidence collection, and any other police matter where officers are needed physically.
Crimes listed below can be reported online as long as the situation is not an emergency:
• Criminal Damage to Property (under $1,000)
• Criminal Damage to a Vehicle (under $1,000)
• Identity Theft
• Theft (not theft of a vehicle or from a vehicle)
