BATTLE CREEK, Mich. – The Battle Creek Police Department has launched an online police reporting system that allows neighbors to file reports for certain non-emergency incidents. 

Online reporting is intended for situations in which a police report is needed for documentation or insurance purposes, but an officer does not need to respond in person. The option is designed to improve convenience for neighbors while allowing officers to remain available for emergency calls, proactive patrol and traffic enforcement. 

Incident types eligible for online reporting include: 

• Non-injury car accidents 
• Lost or stolen property 
• Fraud and identity theft 
• Retail fraud 
• Harassing phone calls with no known suspect 
• Child custody violations for documentation purposes only 
• Vandalism or property damage 

The online reporting system is available around the clock and does not require a phone call or an on-scene officer response. 

If an incident involves injuries, a known or active suspect, or a crime in progress, neighbors should call 911 instead of submitting an online report. 

Learn more about reporting options and submit a report through the City of Battle Creek’s online reporting system.
