File a Report
In order to help keep our community safe, we rely on the general public to report crimes and suspicious activity as quickly as possible.
Crimes in progress or immediate threats
If a crime is happening now or there is immediate danger to a person or property, please notify us without delay:
Some examples of situations you should report to 911 immediately: assault, robbery, domestic violence, theft in progress, any crime involving a weapon or injuries, a car crash that just happened
Our dispatchers can also receive and send text messages. If you have an emergency but cannot speak, send a text to 911. Remember, call 911 if you can, text if you can't.
Please do not use our social media pages, such as Facebook, to report crime or request police assistance. We do not dispatch officers or investigate crimes based solely on social media messages. Also, our social media pages are not monitored 24/7.
Report past crimes or suspicious activity
Certain crimes that have already occurred and there is no immediate danger or emergency, you may be able to file a police report online. This option is best for incidents such as
- Criminal damage to property/vandalism (total damage under $1,000)
- Identity theft
- Lost or mislaid property
- Misdemeanor theft (total loss under $1,500)
- Suspicious activity that is not currently happening
After filing this report, it will be reviewed by a member of the Lenexa Police Department. You will receive a follow-up phone call within 24 hours.
Please remember that it is illegal to file a false report.
