CrimeReports is an excellent tool to assist with communication between the Sheriff's Office and citizens about crime in our neighborhoods and the entire unincorporated area of Kitsap County.

See the press release for more information about CrimeReports.  Below is important information and directions about using the program.

Important notice about CrimeReports:

1.  Crime report titles displayed in CrimeReports are determined by sheriff's patrol deputies / detectives, based upon their investigation.  The crime report title may differ from what was originally reported to 9-1-1 by complainants / victims / witnesses 

2.  In order to protect victims of certain sensitive crimes, the following crime titles will not be displayed:

• Crimes involving victims under age 18.

• Domestic violence crimes.

• Crimes involving sexual assault or abuse.

3.  Reported crime incidents are rounded to the nearest hundred block number.  The map report location is an estimate based upon this block number.
