Do you need to file a report with the Reno Police Department but have little time and want to be able to do it at your own convenience? 

The Reno Police Department offers an online reporting service by which you can report a variety of criminal and civil activity, as well as accidents. It’s simple to use. Simply visit www.reno.gov and select “Police Reporting System” from the Self-Service menu.

Once your report is submitted, it will be reviewed by the Reno Police Department staff. A case number will be issued and sent to the e-mail address you provided. On-line reports are processed just as walk-in reports are. If applicable, and there is viable suspect information, the report will be forwarded to a detective for follow-up and investigation.

If you wish to use the system and don’t have a computer of your own, you may use any public-access terminal, such as the ones located at any Washoe County library.

Reno’s Regional Emergency Dispatch Center is a dynamic place to work. The center is CALEA certified. On top of having this accreditation, the dispatchers handle all 911 calls and dispatch for nearly every public safety division in the Truckee Meadows. The dispatch is about to go through more changes to meet the demands of smart phones and other technology, so they can be even more effective at saving lives.
