Welcome to the California State University, Northridge Police Department Online Police Reporting System. If this is an Emergency please call 911. Using this online citizen police report system allows you to submit a report immediately and print a copy of the police report at no charge. You can use this report to file with your insurance company.
All cases filed within this system will be reviewed. Reports are reviewed and assigned to detectives for follow-up based on investigative leads, severity of the crime, the City/District Attorney's case filing guidelines, and investigative staffing. Unfortunately, crimes with no suspects or no leads are difficult to solve and many times are actually unsolvable. On-line reporting is designed to input these types of crimes. If a lead should develop, you will receive a follow-up call from a police detective regarding your case.
Please confirm the following to find out if online police report filing is right for you:
- This is not an Emergency
The online reporting system is intended for non-emergency incidents in which the suspect is not known. So, if you or someone else saw who did this, or any person, animal, or property is in immediate danger call 9-1-1 immediately!
- This incident occurred on the campus of California State University, Northridge
If a crime took place off-campus, please call the police department for that area. Missing Persons are an exception and may be reported to California State University, Northridge.
- There are no known suspects
When you or someone else knows the person, where to find the person, has a detailed description of the person who committed the crime, or even the license plate number of the vehicle the suspect(s) were in, this is considered a known suspect.
