If you answered NO to all, you’re ready to file online. If you answered YES to any of them, please contact the Urbana Police Department at 217-384-2320 and ask a Police Services Representative for help.
Important: Filing a false police report is a Class 4 Felony crime under Illinois law (720 ILCS 5/26-1(4):
A person knowingly commits this crime if they transmit or cause to transmit in any manner to a peace officer, public officer or public employee a report to the effect that an offense will be committed, is being committed, or has been committed, knowing at the time of such transmission that there is no reasonable ground for believing that such an offense will be committed, is being committed or has been committed.
