Filing an Online Report

Benefits of an Online Report

Online Police Report When a citizen files a police report online, it saves them time by allowing the citizen to fill out the report at a date and time of their choosing. No waiting! Crimes or incidences that are appropriate for filing online are most any crimes that are not in-progress; where there is no known suspect(s); where the crime occurred within the City of Napa limits; and did not occur on a State Freeway. Examples of these crimes are: lost property, theft, vandalism to property, vehicle burglary, and vehicle vandalism.
