The Garland Police Department has launched a new online reporting option for its citizens. Now the public will be able to file several types of offense reports via the internet without waiting for an officer to respond. The speed and accuracy of this web-based reporting option will result in more efficient reporting of crime and allow officers more time to address other community needs.
Offenses currently available for online reporting include;
Criminal mischief
Harassing phone calls
Identity theft
Lost property
Theft
Vehicle burglary
Once the report has been submitted the reporting person may print a temporary report. Submitted online reports will be reviewed by police personnel and receive the same investigation and statistical analysis as a report filed by a police officer. When the report has been approved, the submitting party will receive an email with a copy of the report attached along with the official report number.
The reporting system may be accessed directly by the following address;
www.garlandtx.gov/coplogic/start-report.html
or by accessing the City’s web site; www.garlandpolice.com and clicking on Reports/Links, then Citizen Online Reporting.
