What can you NOT make a telephone report about?




Essentially the telephone reporting system is used for certain non-emergency calls. That would be defined as calls where there is no threat of injury and where no suspect is present. Some calls REQUIRE that a Deputy be dispatched to you. Examples would include:



  • A suspect is present or an immediate apprehension can be made.

  • There is physical evidence to be collected.

  • Stolen Motor Vehicle Reports and Stolen Motor Vehicle Recoveries.

  • Missing Persons and Missing Persons recovery Reports.

  • Assaults and criminal domestic violence.

  • Animal complaints where a victim has sustained injuries.

  • There is a communications problem where the dispatcher cannot determine what has occurred.

  • The dispatcher or Sheriff Department representative deems it necessary that an officer be dispatched.

  • The caller request to see a Deputy.
  •
