Incident Reporting

If you are the victim of a crime (or the parent or guardian of a minor who is the victim) that occurred within the City of Hollister, you may download an Incident Report and send it to the Hollister Police Department. 

Note: Online incident reporting is for PAST TENSE crimes for which THERE ARE NO SUSPECTS OR EVIDENCE. Do not report crimes that you have previously reported by any other means.

Your Incident report will be assigned a Case Number. The report will be filed but there will be no investigative activity by HPD unless some leads develop. By filing a police report, you are agreeing to be contacted by a representative of the Hollister Police Department should it become necessary in the course of handling your case. Please note that it is unlawful to file a false police report.

The following types of crime can be reported using this web site: 

• Harassing Phone Calls
• Lost Property
• Petty theft (under $400)
• Vandalism (not graffiti)

To report other types of crime, please contact the Hollister Police Department at (831)-636-4330. (Non-Injury traffic accidents can be reported to the DMV. Found Property reports must be made in person at the Hollister Police Department, 395 Apollo Way, Hollister.)
