Making a police report

Although making a police report might not bring your stolen tires or wallet back, it will help police identify crime trends and statistics, and help them focus their efforts appropriately.

Woodbridge residents are part of the Central District of the Detroit Police Department.

You will have to make police reports in person at 4747 Woodward Ave., south of Hancock.

Wayne State Police and Detroit Police share information through the same system, so it is not necessary to report to each. Call 596-1300 for more information. You may want to notify your community relations officer about the occurence.
