      • A misdemeanor crime that is not currently in progress i.e., vandalism, theft, auto burglary, etc.
      • Vin inspection requests
      • Stray animals or animal noise complaints
      • Parking problems
      • Civil issues – Law enforcement agencies handle criminal acts where laws are broken.  Law enforcement officers are not empowered by state statute to decide civil issues such as custody disputes or landlord/tenant disputes. 
      • Lost property or found property
      • Crashes occurring on private property where no one is injured.

    Several non-emergent situations can be reported online at   https://cityprotect.com/agency/casperpolicedepartment.

    Some examples are:

        • Hit and run
        • Animal problems
        • Civil reports
        • Property damage   

      •                                                        Using Text to 9-1-1 in Natrona County
      • Call if you can, text if you must. 

        Natrona County citizens and visitors can reach 9-1-1 by text, if necessary.  Text to 9-1-1 should be used when a voice call is not possible (due to lack of cell coverage or a dangerous situation where speaking would endanger lives).  To reach 9-1-1 by text, type 911 into the “to” field on your cell phone text application.  In the message field, state the location of the emergency and a brief summary of the situation.  One of our Telecommunicators will respond via text with a series of questions.  Answer all questions and follow the instructions given.  Continue to respond to texts until the Telecommunicator ends the conversation.   

        TDD/TTY

        PSCC has Telecommunications Device for the Deaf (TDD)/Teletype (TTY) capabilities built into our phone system.  TDD’s/TTY’s are special communications equipment used by people who cannot use a regular telephone due to hearing loss or speech impairment.
