Frequently Asked Questions

What if online reporting is not right for my incident?

For emergencies, call 911. For non-emergency law enforcement assistance, call Kitsap 911 at 360-307-7101. Dispatchers will assess your call and direct it to the appropriate response unit.

What if the incident happened in another city?

Contact the law enforcement agency with jurisdiction where the incident occurred. KCSO's online reporting system is not intended for incidents outside its jurisdiction.

Can I report an incident that occurred on a state highway or state-owned property?

For collisions on state highways or other state-owned roadways, contact the Washington State Patrol at 360-473-0300, as appropriate.

Can I submit photos or documents with my online crime report?

False Reporting Is a Crime

​A person commits false reporting if, with the knowledge that the information reported, conveyed, or circulated is false, he or she initiates or circulates a false report or warning of an alleged occurrence or impending occurrence, knowing that such false report is likely to cause: Evacuation of a building, place of assembly, or transportation facility; public inconvenience or alarm; or an emergency response.

Motor Vehicle Collision
​If law enforcement did not respond to your collision, you may need to submit a collision report through the Washington State Patrol (WSP) online collision reporting system.

Washington law generally requires a collision report when a collision results in $1,000 or more in damage to any one person's property or causes injury or death. If an officer responded and indicated that a report would be submitted, you generally do not need to file a separate report.

The online collision reporting system may not be compatible with all smartphones. A computer is recommended.

Abandoned or Junk Vehicle

The appropriate reporting process depends on where the vehicle is located.

Vehicles on a county right-of-way: You may submit an online report if the vehicle has been stored there for more than 24 hours, is not currently registered, or is obviously inoperable.

Vehicles on private property: If a property owner wants a junk vehicle removed, KCSO can complete a junk vehicle affidavit for a vehicle intended to be scrapped. This process does not allow the individual to obtain a lost or alternate title using the form.

What Happens After You Submit an Online Crime Report?
​Reports submitted through the KCSO Online Reporting System receive a temporary number beginning with CSP. KCSO personnel review each submission to determine whether it can be approved, returned for additional information, or rejected.
  • Approved: A case number will be sent to you by email.
  • Returned: You will receive an email explaining what additional information is needed.
  • Rejected: You will receive information explaining why the report was rejected and how to proceed.

Please provide accurate and complete information when submitting your report. Knowingly making a false report is a crime under Washington law (RCW 9A.84.040).​
