How to Report a Crime in Florida

  • Call 911 -For emergencies or crimes in progress that pose immediate danger to life or property.
  • Use the Non-Emergency Number-Report non-urgent incidents such as vandalism, theft with no suspect on scene or noise complaints through your local sheriff’s or police department’s non-emergency number.
  • Submit an Anonymous Tip-Many Florida counties partner with Crime Stoppers programs, allowing you to share information without revealing your identity.
  • Report Online–Some agencies provide online portals for filing non-emergency reports or tips.
  • Visit a Local Law Enforcement Office -For ongoing concerns, in-person reporting may be best especially if you need to share detailed information or documentation.
