Charlestown PD Online Incident Report
The Charlestown Police Department uses multiple computerized programs to track and solve ALL crimes reported within the city limits of Charlestown, Indiana. Tracking crime enables the department to prioritize routine patrols for purposes of high targeting of areas of the community where recent crimes are being committed. Therefore, reporting all types of crime is crucial to not only solving crime; but also preventing future crime. CHPD recognizes the fact that not every crime requires an officer to respond in person; and that the speed of life doesn't always facilitate time for smaller crimes to be sufficiently reported in a conventional manner. We welcome you to use the below secure online form for purposes of reporting incidents in a convenient efficient manner.
If you need immediate police response for a crime in progress, disregard this online form and call 911 or our dispatch center at 812-246-6996.
THIS REPORTING FORM IS FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF REPORTING INCIDENTS OF WHICH ARE NOT IN PROGRESS AND ARE OF A LOW PRIORITY WHERE NO LIFE IS IN DANGER.
