File a Report Online

The Greenville Police Department is now accepting online reports for certain non-emergency crimes that occurred within Greenville city limits. 

The online reporting system provides a convenient way to report crimes that do not require the presence of an officer and it increases police productivity by freeing officers to perform other law enforcement activities. 

Users can access the online reporting system by clicking the button "File a Report" at the top of this page.

Helpful things to know about North Carolina’s Trespassing Laws to confirm before reporting it to the police: 

-        Unless a tenant’s lease denies the tenant the authority to extend invitations, a guest who enters premises at the invitation of the tenant is not guilty of trespass, even if the landlord has told the guest not to enter.

-        “Premises” include the entire piece of real estate—not just the building, but the land as well. - Premises include, for example, an unfenced front yard.

-        If a homeowner tells a defendant to leave the homeowner’s front yard and the defendant refuses, or if a homeowner tells a defendant never to come back onto the homeowner’s property but the defendant re-enters the property.

-        Premises are posted in a manner reasonably likely to come to the attention of intruders, with notice not to enter the premises.
