Due to technological transitions to the new Report Management System (RMS), the Alexandria Police Department is temporarily closing our Property and Evidence Section on Tuesdays. This closure will begin on Tuesday, July 19, and continue through October 11, 2016.

The Alexandria Police Department has partnered with the LexisNexis Community Crime Map to provide City residents with the ability to learn about crime in their communities. The LexisNexis Community Crime Map web site was developed to help citizens visualize and understand crime in their communities. Since 2002, the Alexandria Police Department has provided searchable online crime data through the City's online crime search engine. Through the partnership with the LexisNexis Community Crime Map, citizens can now query and view Alexandria crime data using an online Geographic Information System (GIS). It allows citizens to view crime for an entire region, neighborhood or block.

Why take the time to drive all the way to the police station when you can get your traffic collision report from the comfort of your own home or office?

Alexandria residents and business owners who have a building, commercial or residential alarm can register the alarm at the City's Alarm Prevention and Administration site, "The Cry Wolf Program": www.crywolf.us/oss/alexandriava. Law Enforcement personnel respond to thousands of false alarm calls yearly. These unnecessary responses result in an enormous burden in manpower and expense; which in turn reduces the time available to respond to real emergencies.Cry Wolf helps the Police Department manage, and even reduce, false alarms.
