MPD and the Coronavirus (COVID-19)

The MPD takes pride in professionally responding to crisis situations, and we will continue to do so throughout the current public health emergency. To limit physical interactions, certain operational measures have been temporarily modified.

File a Police Report Online

The MPD Online Reporting Tool offers a way for you to make quick reports that do not necessarily require a police officer to witness or take the information from you.

Request an Accident or Incident Report

The Public Documents Unit provides copies of Accident (PD-10s) and Incident/Offense Reports (PD-251s).
