Contact Police
To report an emergency or in-progress situation, call 911 immediately.
If you want to speak with someone about a non-emergency situation, call 970.419.3273 (FCPD)
You can also make an online report about a non-emergency crime or lost property.
Mental Health Crisis
If you or someone you know is experiencing an emergency, please call 911. If you’re dealing with mental or emotional challenges, concerns about alcohol or substance use, or simply need a listening ear, you don’t have to face it on your own. Free and confidential service is a call or text away, 24/7; just dial 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Hotline.
All Fort Collins officers receive training related to mental health response.
If you think it would be beneficial to have a mental health professional assess and connect the person with services, tell the dispatcher that you’d like to request the Mental Health Response Team (MHRT). If a team member is not available, a patrol officer will respond to assist.

Request a Police Record
Our online system makes it easy to request a police report, crash (motor vehicle accident) report, background check, or other official records. You can also use this system to track the status of your request.
When requesting police reports, please provide as much information as possible about the incident, including a case number if you have it. This will help us locate the correct records for you. NOTE: a non-refundable deposit is required at the time of the request, based on an estimation of copy cost and time required.
There may be times when a record is not releasable to the public. Denial Of Inspection Of Records (C.R.S. § 24-72-305) may result for the following reasons:
- Inspection or release is contrary to state statute
- Inspection or release is contrary to Supreme Court rule or order of any court
- Inspection or release is contrary to the public interest (i.e. investigative file material (whether the case is open or closed), intelligence information, information regarding security procedures of Sheriff, District Attorney or Police Department.)
