Citizens Encouraged to Utilize Online Crime Reporting

In order to promote social distancing and sanitary hygiene in response to ongoing coronavirus concerns, Sheriff Tim Cameron and the St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office encourage the public to report crimes online.

The St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office Citizens Online Reporting System (COLRS) can be used to report crimes where there is no suspect information or other investigative leads. Crimes can be reported online at www.firstsheriff.com.

The following crimes can be reported: 

*Suspicious incidents
*Lost property
*Theft
*Vandalism

A patrol supervisor regularly monitors the reporting system’s inbox and assigns deputies as appropriate. A police report/case number will be provided.

If a crime does involve a suspect, call the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office’s non-emergency number at 301-475-8008. In an emergency call 911.
