"Report a Crime" Internet Offense Submission Agreement

The "Report a Crime" feature is a pilot program. The Mansfield Police Department will monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of this tool during the pilot period. If you have any comments pertaining to the usefulness of this feature, please let us know by contacting our Records Section at (419) 755-9768 or by e-mailing our Webmaster at manspd@ci.mansfield.oh.us.

It is important that the Mansfield Police Department is notified of all crime occurring in our city. This feature is intended to be a convenience to citizens and visitors to report minor crimes that most likely will not result in an immediate arrest. Interaction with police personnel will be minimal. However, please know that information provided by you will assist us in identifying trends and areas of concerns which will allow us to offer improved service to our community.

This is a secured website. The information collected on the following pages will be used for criminal justice purposes only. Please provide as much information a possible. You may also call (419) 755-9768 to report a crime or 911 to report an emergency or crime in progress. Only non-emergency offenses that are not in progress (see list below) may be reported online.

In order to use the Report A Crime system, you must: (1) be 18 years of age or older; (2) attest that the crime being reported occurred in the city of Mansfield; (3) not be able to identify a suspect; and (4) not be reporting lost property (e.g., a cell phone).

By completing a report online, please note that a Forensics Technician will not be dispatched to process the scene.

If you are not contacted, please send an e-mail to manspd@ci.mansfield.oh.us. Include your name, phone number, date of offense, date report submitted, and a brief description of the event.
