ON-LINE CITIZEN REPORT

OF DAMAGE OR THEFT

GUIDELINES FOR USE OF THE ON-LINE CITIZEN REPORT FORM:  The online citizen report form is intended to provide a convenient option for reporting minor thefts and damage to personal property.  To use this form all three of the following criteria must be met: 

       1) The incident in question must have occurred within the city limits of Chippewa Falls

       2) The total actual value of property taken and/or the repair/replacement costs of            property damaged is $500.00 or less

                                               AND

       3) The reporting party has no information about a suspect(s).

If your situation does not meet the above criteria, you are better served by having an officer meet with you directly to take your complaint. This will ensure that our Department is handling your incident in an efficient and effective manner.  If you have not already done so, you must contact the Chippewa Falls Police Department at 715-723-4424 to discuss your specific incident prior to submitting a Citizen Report Form.
