The
St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office is now offering citizens a web-based method
to report minor crimes where there is no suspect information or other
investigative leads. The St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office Online Reporting
System can be used to report any suspicious incidents, lost property, theft, or
vandalism, where no suspect is known or seen.
Residents
should use the Online Reporting System to report suspicious incidents, lost
property (such as cell phones, wallets, and other items of value), theft and
vandalism – so long as there is no suspect or investigative information.
Otherwise, residents should continue to call the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s
Office non-emergency line at 301-475-8008 for a deputy to be dispatched.
As
always, if there is an emergency, a crime in progress, or an immediate need for
medical assistance, dial 9-1-1.
“The
online reporting system is a valuable adjunct to direct contact with the
Sheriff's Office in situations where the citizen reporter does not know who
committed the crime,” said Sheriff Tim Cameron. “This new program will save the
community time when reporting, and allow deputies to perform their
investigations more efficiently.”
Citizens
can access the reporting system by entering the following address in their
internet browser, www.firstsheriff.com/citizenreport, or through the Sheriff’s
Office website at www.firstsheriff.com on the home page or under resources.
Anyone
with questions is asked to contact the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office non-emergency
line at 301-475-8008.
