Rockwall Police Department launches online platform for crime reporting

(ROCKWALL, TX – May 19, 2020) The Rockwall Police Department is excited to announce that they have launched an additional platform to make it more convenient for citizens to make a police report. Citizens can now access our online reporting form, to report crimes not requiring a conventional police response, at the Rockwall Police Department’s website www.rockwallpolice.org.

This mechanism allows reporting of certain non-emergency, not-in-progress offenses, which have no known suspects or evidence beyond surveillance videos or still shots that might lead to the identification of a suspect. Examples of appropriate online police reports include: Fraud (Identity Theft, Forgery, Credit/Debit Card Abuse), Harassing phone calls, Burglary Motor Vehicle, Theft, Vandalism, Lost Property. Reporting Parties can also upload electronic files associated with their report directly into the online reporting platform.

Upon submission, citizens will receive an email confirmation of submission to include a reference number. Copies of online reports will be available for request within 72 hours. Our goal is for citizens to have a quicker and more efficient way of reporting crimes; however, we encourage anyone who believes their report would be better served with an officer response to call the police department for assistance.
