Welcome to The Austin Police Department's online incident reporting system. This system will allow you to report a criminal incident to the police department. The entries into this system are for incidents that are not in progress and no threat of immediate harm to anyone exists. If this is an emergency please call 911.

Before you begin, please be sure to have all necessary information gathered and ready to enter. (Addresses, person's information, contact information, property descriptions including serial numbers, etc.)

Submit a Report       Submit Tips

If you believe you were a victim of a hate crime, click Submit a Report, then click the offense that best applies. During the sequence of questions, you will be asked if you believe you were a victim of a hate crime and why you feel you were. 

Certain report types cannot be made through the APD on line reporting system. If any of the following criteria exists, please call 911 to report your incident:

  • If there is an immediate threat to anyone’s life where the suspect is on-scene or currently enroute to your location
  • The incident occurred outside the city limits of Austin
  • You are not at least 17 years of age
  • You do not have a valid drivers license or state ID card
  • You do not have a valid email address
  • Your incident involves family/dating violence

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Once you submit your report online, you will receive an email notification with a Temporary Report Number.   The report will then be reviewed by Central Records and it will either be accepted or rejected.  If your report is accepted, you will be given a permanent APD Case Number and notified of any follow-up action.  If your report is rejected you will be given the reasons by email indicating the reasons for the rejection.
