On Monday, May 11, 2020, the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office launched a new online reporting system that will allow citizens to file certain police reports online.  Examples of eligible reports include identity theft, damage to property, and suspicious circumstances. Some reports, such as a theft of a firearm, among others, will still require an in-person meeting with a deputy.

 Those wishing to file a report online will answer a series of questions to ensure the report meets the criteria for online reporting. Once the online form is completed, an email confirmation from the Sheriff's Office will be received within 3 business days with the report number and instructions explaining how to obtain a copy of the report. If the report does not qualify for our online reporting system, an email will be received indicating the report does not meet the criteria for online reporting.  The email will also contain a request for a convenient time to meet with a deputy so the report can be filed in person.

 Sheriff Baird said “The goal of the Sheriff’s Office is to provide the highest level of service to the citizens of Kendall County, and this online reporting system is a tool that can be used to accomplish that goal.  This system will allow citizens who wish to conveniently file police reports online to do so, and will allow the Sheriff’s Office to more efficiently allocate our resources.  This is all done while making the reporting process more efficient and easier to access for our citizens.”
