The Scranton Police Department’s online reporting allows you to submit a police report immediately and once reviewed and approved print a copy of the report
for free. You can also use this system to submit certain complaints. These incidences are usually neighborhood nuisance situations.[hr]

Only incidents occurring within the City of Scranton will be accepted.
