Online Police Reporting
The Jamestown Police Department has created this page for you to file a report with our agency.
IF THIS IS AN EMERGENCY YOU SHOULD DIAL 9-1-1!
This system is not a way to replace your interaction with a live police officer. However, it was created to provide a convenient alternative for citizens to report non-emergent situations that have occurred within the confines of the Town of Jamestown, RI.
Individuals who choose to utilize this system will be able to file a report from the comfort of their home or office. An officer will follow-up you in a timely fashion.
FILING A FALSE POLICE REPORT IS A CRIME AND IS PUNISHABLE BY LAW.
