COOS BAY POLICE LAUNCHES ONLINE CRIME REPORTING TOOL The Coos Bay Police Department (CBPD) recently launched a new online crime reporting tool on the CBPD website called MyPD Connect. MyPDConnect will allow users to quickly and easily make an online report to the CBPD. MyPD Connect accepts online reports of: • Theft • Identity Theft • Fraud, Scams, and Forgery • Criminal Mischief and Vandalism • Abandoned Vehicles • Anonymous Crime or Drug Activity Tips MyPD Connect guides users through the information needed to make a police report, such as the location of the incident and victim information. Users can also upload documents, photos, or videos to their report. After the report has been submitted and accepted by a CBPD officer, users will get an additional message with a log or case number, or a reply that the officer needs additional information. MyPD Connect should not be utilized to report in-progress crimes or crimes with identifiable suspects. Those crimes should continue to be reported to the CBPD at 541-269-8911 EXT 1 or 9-1-1 if there is an emergency. To make a report to CBPD via MyPD Connect visit: https://coosbaypd.mypdconnect.com or text “Report” to 541-759-7802
