Online Crime Reporting System

The Online Crime Reporting System is designed to make it easier and more convenient to file a police report without leaving home; however, not every crime can be reported using this system.

In the event of an emergency, if a crime is in progress or someone is hurt or threatened, 911 should be called or texted immediately.

The following incidents can be reported on the Online Crime Reporting System:

• Did the crime or incident occur outside Cleveland City limits?
• Was someone injured as a result of this crime or incident?
• Is there information about the person, even if vague, who might have committed the crime (description, name, license #, etc.)?
• Is the license plate number known for the vehicle the suspect was or may be in?
• Did the crime involve the use or threat of a weapon (gun, knife or other)?
• Did the crime involve drugs in any way?
• Are there serial numbers for stolen items?
• Was there house or garage break-in?
• Was this a motor vehicle accident?

Filing a false police report is a crime. Users must be 18 or older to use the Online Crime Reporting System. Prior to beginning the online filing, user should have a valid email address, pop-up blocking software should be turned off, and all the information related to the incident should be available. 

Once the report is complete, the following words will appear: "Your online police report has been submitted."  The report filer will then be given a police report case number and be directed to print a copy for their records.  Upon review, if further investigation is needed, the filer will be contacted via email. A final confirmation with a permanent report number will be emailed to the email address provided.  OhClevelandPd@Coplogic.com should be added to email contacts so the report does not get rejected as spam.  This email address cannot receive emails.
