The Phoenix Police Department is excited to add two new types of incidents to the online crime reporting tool starting Nov. 1: theft from business and graffiti. This addition will save time for the community, businesses and police.
With the two new additions, online reporting is now available for the following incidents:
-
Theft from business (example: shoplifting with a detained subject present)
-
Graffiti
-
Theft from a vehicle
-
Criminal damage
-
Fraudulent use of a credit or debit card
-
Lost property
-
Identity theft
-
Theft
-
Theft from business
-
Stolen bicycle
-
Harassing or nuisance phone calls
-
Theft from vending machines
-
Supplement additional information or property to an already existing online report
The online system will walk the reporting party through a series of questions to place the correct violation code with the online report. Once the online user submits their report, a follow-up email will be sent to the user after the report is accepted and sent to an officer for review. For theft from business, the follow-up email will include a link to upload pictures, videos and other store reports pertaining to the theft of business. This process will allow the business that has been victimized to report the theft more efficiently without wasting critical time waiting for an officer to arrive on scene.
