How to Call the Police & What to Say

When you call the Pomona Police Department and request a Police Officer, you will be asked a series of questions by a Police Dispatcher. These questions are designed to insure a more effective response.

Try to remain calm and answer the questions as best you can. The Dispatcher acts as the officer's eyes and ears before they arrive on scene of a crime or a call for service.  Some of our questions may seem redundant and unnecessary however, they are pertinent to insure our officers and citizens are safe.  

Here are some of the questions you may be asked:

Why are you calling the police?

• Are you calling to report a crime?
  • Is it in progress?
  • Has it already occurred?

   

• Are you calling to report a traffic accident?
  • Are there injuries?
  • Is it a non-injury accident?

• Are you calling to report a disturbance?
  • Is it a family dispute?
  • Is it a fight on the street?
  • Are there any guns? 

• Are you calling to report suspicious activity?
  • What kind?
  • Where?

• What is the location?
  • What is the exact address, including street number and/or apartment number.
  • What is the cross street?

• What is your name?
  • What telephone number are you calling from?

  • What is their description?
  • Do they have a weapon? What kind? (Rifle, gun, knife, etc)
  • Do they have a vehicle?

Remember: Although it seems like a lot of questions, an Officer is being sent to your address while you are talking to the Dispatcher.
