Non-Emergencies

To report a non-emergency situation, call (757) 385-5000.  Select non-emergency offenses can be reported online using ePRO. 

​Preservation of Evidence

To preserve evidence in a crime scene, do not touch anything, limit your movement through the crime scene, do not attempt to clean anything up (glass, dirt, broken window/doors, etc.), and report the crime immediately. The longer you wait to report a crime, the less likely we will be able to recover probative evidence.
