Oak Park, IL – Residents in Oak Park can now file non-emergency police reports online through the village’s new Police to Citizen portal, the Oak Park Police Department announced Thursday.
According to the department, the new system is designed to streamline reporting for minor incidents such as package thefts, property damage, and graffiti. The online form can also be used to report lost items or thefts from vehicles or garages, helping residents avoid in-person visits or long phone waits for non-urgent matters.
The department clarified that the portal is not intended for emergencies or incidents involving injuries or weapons. In those cases, residents should continue to call 911 immediately.
Officials say the move aims to make the reporting process more efficient and accessible, especially for property-related incidents that don’t require an immediate police presence.
To submit a non-emergency report, residents can visit www.oak-park.us/policereport.
