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.
