***** Online police reports that are for the purpose of documentation to provide for example Insurance Companies, Banks and Utilities as a sworn affidavit that you were the victim of crime so that one’s claim may be processed. Crimes against persons, crimes with evidence and suspects that can possibly followed up on do not meet the criteria for online report please call 911 if it is an emergency or 815-727-8575 for non-emergencies to have a Deputy meet with you and take a report. ****
