Were you a victim or witness to a crime in Wauwatosa? The Wauwatosa Police Department offers an online reporting tool for certain non-emergency incidents.

Residents should use the online reporting portal to report:

• Retail theft
• Theft
• Vandalism
• Vehicle entry
• Fraud/Identity Theft

We also accept reports of past retail thefts submitted online by retailers.

When a report is submitted online, a patrol supervisor reviews the information and assigns it to a staff member to document or investigate further.

If any digital evidence exists, such as photos, videos, or documents, the investigating staff member will contact you and provide a secure link for submitting that evidence.

“Sometimes people hesitate to report smaller incidents because they think it’s not worth our time,” said Lt. Cory Wex. “But we want to know when these things happen. Even small reports can help us identify patterns in a neighborhood or guide where we focus patrols.”
