What To Do If You Are Burglarized

1. If you are a victim of a crime in progress, call 911 to get immediate help.
2. If you are a victim of a crime that has occurred while you are away and you are not in danger, please call the non-emergency police line 1-877-ASK-LAPD (275-5273).  The dispatcher will send police officers out to take a report and collect any evidence.
3. Only victims of a crime can file a report.  Burglaries require officers to come to your house to take the report.  It cannot be done online.
4. If your Ring/security cameras show someone attempted to break in to your house, please call the non-emergency line to report it.  The dispatcher will ascertain whether or not someone will come out to collect any evidence. 
5. If you are a neighbor witnessing a burglary in progress (actual tangible evidence of someone breaking into the residence) please call 911.
6. While the wait times for these emergency/non-emergency lines can be unacceptably long, we urge you to stay on the line.  We need to report all crimes in our neighborhood to fight for the limited resources available to us.
