We recognize that many people are reluctant to notify the police about their suspicions, concerns, or even just their "gut" feelings about what they may feel are criminal activity, or maybe things that "just don't look right."

Quite often, citizens' hunches turn out to be valuable information to us. If you have information that you feel we should know, we encourage you to leave us e-mail. OCPD@ococean.com

If the information you have is of an urgent nature, it is important that you telephone someone in the agency instead, because e-mail messages are not read on a daily basis.

Any information that you provide us will be held strictly confidential. Your information will be passed on to the appropriate division within our department. If you would like to have an officer return your message, you may leave your telephone number and someone will contact you as soon as possible.
