What information would be helpful to gather (if possible) before calling to make my police report?
When you call to make a police report, the call receiver you speak to will try to get as much information as possible to give investigators a greater chance for follow-up. • Serial numbers, or owner-applied identification, (for instance, you engraved your name or social security number on your property). • If there was a witness, Crime Check will ask for the witness’ full name, date of birth, street address and phone number. • For stolen or damaged items: • Color of the item. • Brand name. • Make/model. • Serial number, if any. • Estimated current value of the item (For instance, what could you sell the item for at a yard sale?).
