Eureka Police Department press release: 

Eureka Police Department Makes It Easier for Community Members to File Specific Police Reports by using Online Technology

Today Eureka Police Department is launching technology that encourages our community members to file online police reports. As police departments work to better allocate resources and personnel while proactively and positively working with the community, utilizing this online service will increase efficiencies within the department and enhance service to community members.

This service provides a fast and efficient way for community members to report a variety of lower priority incidents such as, non-injury traffic collision, abandoned vehicles, identity theft, vandalism, graffiti, etc. – there are 17 incident types to choose from. Rather than visit the department in person or have an officer dispatched to you, community members can now report minor incidents online.

“Online community reporting allows officers to stay focused on the immediate needs of the community,” said Police Chief Brian Stephens. “The ability for community members to submit police reports online enables law enforcement agencies with limited resources to concentrate on critical public safety priorities such as crime prevention and investigation. This system also provides the convenience of allowing residents to file reports at any time, which can reduce wait times and improve overall service levels.” Chief Stephens emphasized, “If you would prefer to have a Police Officer or Community Service Officer respond in person to take your report, we are absolutely committed to providing that option.”

You can access information via the City of Eureka Website – My Government - Police Department. At the following link you can access a step by step instruction on how to complete a report, along with the types of reports that can be submitted.
