Who Should I Call?

Have you ever been in the situation where something happens and you are not sure if you should call the police?  Sometimes things seem almost too small to call in; but reports big and small help our local police track situations and trends in an area, which is a great help in keeping our community safe.    To make it easier, here is handy list of “who to call” for your reference
