Did you know some police reports can be filed online?

With a few certain caveats, a number of police reports can be filed with just a few clicks. 

Here's what you need to know:

• The incident must have occurred within the Bainbridge Island city limits;

• There are no known suspects;

• The incident involves one of the following crimes:  harassing phone call, identity theft, information only report, hit and run, lost property, misdemeanor incidents (as long as they don’t involve domestic violence, assault, or protection order violations and are not currently in progress), poor or unsafe road conditions, theft, theft from a vehicle, traffic issues, vandalism, and vandalism of a vehicle.

Visit http://www.kitsap911.org/online-incident-report/ to begin your report.  The site can also be used to provide information to a police officer related to a report he or she has already taken for you.

For everything else, call 911 - even for non-emergencies.  Officers are dispatched via radio and by calling 911 there will be a record of the call and officers can respond in real time.

Be safe!
