My house has been broken into. What do I do?

Do not enter the house. Call 911 from a neighbor’s house or use a cell phone and wait for an officer to arrive. 

All burglary complaints are assigned to an officer. If possible, have a complete list of items missing, including serial numbers and receipts showing the cost of goods. Provide the officer with the names of possible suspects. If there is broken glass or other items that have potentially been handled by the perpetrator, do not touch or disturb. Notify the officer of this possible evidence.
