What
To Do If…
If you are the victim
of a crime or if you witness a crime or suspicious incident, DIAL
3-2121 IMMEDIATELY and be prepared to provide as much
information as possible:
- Your name, where you
are calling from, and your telephone number.
- Persons involved-Names,
sex, age, height, weight, clothing and distinguishing characteristics
(such as facial hair, scars, hair color)
- Method and direction
of travel (very important)
- Motor vehicle registration
number, type of vehicle, color, identifying features, etc.
- Description of stolen
property, and any other details that may apply
- If
your wallet is lost or stolen, notify the three major credit reporting
companies that your identification has been stolen. They can stop
anyone from obtaining instant credit on your credit line. They
can be contacted through the following numbers or use the links
to access their websites.
Once a crime has been
committed, the best way to aid in solving it is to rapidly and accurately
report all the information available.
Too often people fail
to report an offender or suspicious person because they are not
sure what they have seen is important, are reluctant to get involved,
or do not want to "offend" the person of whom they are
suspicious. Just remember that if you don't report the crime, a
criminal may get away and cause harm to others.
