Reporting, defining and preventing crime
You may have heard us say- “If you see something, say something!”. Reporting crime and suspicious activity helps to create statistics and shows us patterns; these patterns help drive enforcement and resources. The Seattle Police Department is a highly data-driven police department, which means that we often use data to determine what we need to be doing and where we need to be doing it.

Even if the crime or suspicious activity is not investigated immediately or is deemed to be low priority- it is still very important to report it to SPD using the proper process!
