Hollister Police Incident Report

How To File An Incident Report

If you are the victim of a crime (or the parent or guardian of a minor of the victim) that occurred within the City of Hollister, you may download an Incident Report and send it to the Hollister Police Department. 

Note: Online incident reporting is for PAST TENSE crimes for which THERE ARE NO SUSPECTS OR EVIDENCE. Do not report crimes that you have previously reported by any other means.

Your Incident report will be assigned a Case Number. The report will be filed, but there will be no investigative activity by the Hollister Police Department unless some leads develop. By completing an incident police report, you are agreeing to be contacted by a representative of the Hollister Police Department should it become necessary in the course of handling your case. Please note that it is unlawful to file a false police report.

The following types of crime can be reported using this website: 

  • Harassing Phone Calls: You are receiving unsolicited telephone calls that are harassing, threatening, or sexual in nature, and you do not know the caller. Do not report calls from solicitors or telemarketers.
  • Petty theft: (under $950) Theft of property whose combined value does not exceed $950.00. If the property was taken from a locked vehicle, the crime is not a Petty Theft, and you cannot use this form. Contact the Police to report a burglary.
  • Vandalism: (not graffiti) Vandalism is defacing, damaging, or destroying any real or personal property, including vehicles. Do not report graffiti as vandalism. Graffiti should be reported to the Graffiti Hotline at (831) 638-4175

Report Crime AnonymouslyUse the form below to submit anonymous information regarding suspicious activities, crime tips, graffiti, or other non-urgent incidents.

These reports are NOT monitored 24/7. Do not use this system or social media to report crimes in progress. Some incidents need a person to make an actual report before the police can take action (i.e. a noise complaint). This system is truly anonymous so we cannot reply to a question.
