Trust Your Instincts

 

You know when something does not look right. You may not know why, but somehow it is out of character and arouses your suspicion. Call It In !!. The  police would rather respond to your suspicions than miss the one that is real.

 

Stay on the line - the complaint officer will ask you a number of questions, which are necessary prior to sending a police officer. Be patient and provide whatever information is requested.

 

If you are reporting a suspicious vehicle or person, or a vehicle was broken into and the suspects fled the area, or are in fact dealing with a crime that may be committed in the future or a crime that has already been committed, call your local police department.
