CCR Report Form Instructions

PURPOSE

Paso Robles Police Department has created a Citizen Crime Report Form whereby the citizens of our city may file a report without the personal service of an officer. This system would afford the officers of our department additional time to pursue the investigation of major offenses and make them available to respond to emergency calls for service. Our Records staff is trained to take misdemeanor property/incident reports. These types of reports are taken at the front counter or mailed to the citizen for completion.

HOW TO MAKE A REPORT

1. You may only report incidents that occurred in the incorporated city limits of the City of Paso Robles. If the offense/crime you are reporting occurred in another jurisdiction, please contact the appropriate Police or Sheriff’s Department.
   
   
2. Use this form when the crime was not initially reported and is now being made at a later date for insurance purposes only.
    
3. Use one report form per incident. You may make additional copies of the offense/crime report form to report other incidents.
   
   
4. Fill out the form in its entirety. Be specific when describing damage or property. Include the make, model, color, license plate and serial number or owner applied identification information, if applicable. Provide the current value of the property.
   
   
5. Additional narrative sheets, property description sheets, and/or victim sheets may be attached as necessary.
   
   
6. If you have suspect description, include it on the crime report. A police employee will contact you if additional information or statements are needed.
   
   
7. Date and sign the report form prior to submission.
   
   
8. Make your own photocopies before returning the report form. Once the form is completed, return it to the Police Department in person, by mail or by fax.
