File a Crime Report Online

Using the Online Crime Reporting System allows you to submit a report immediately. This system does not replace dialing 911 and should not be used for in-progress crimes.  The following conditions must be met in order to make an online report.

Can I file a report online?

You may file a crime report online only if you answer "no" to each of the following questions:

  1. Is this an emergency?
  2. Did this incident happen outside Marion County jurisdiction? Check map of service area.
  3. Do you know the suspect(s) or where to find the suspect(s) who committed the crime?
  4. Do you know the license plate number of the vehicle the suspect(s) were in?
  5. Did the incident occur on a state freeway, highway or route?
  6. Did the incident involve firearms (used or taken)?
  7. Did the incident involve theft of a motor vehicle or licensed trailer?

If you answered "yes" to any of the above questions and the incident occurred in Marion County jurisdiction, please contact 911 for emergencies or 503-588-5032 for non-emergency dispatch.

Filing a false police report is a crime. Any person who knowingly makes a false or misleading material statement to a public servant is guilty of a gross misdemeanor.  "Material statement" means a written or oral statement reasonably likely to be relied upon by a public servant in the discharge of his or her official powers or duties.
