Why is it important to report incidents?
There are many reasons why it is important to report these incidents. Reporting:

  • Empowers every member of our community to feel that their experiences will not go unnoticed.
  • This allows us to have a better understanding of the current situation in our community.
  • Gives us more tools to talk to our law enforcement partners, elected officials and other faith partners.
  • Gives us a better chance to apply for security grants. Security grants require a chronology of incidents. Having better data gives us a better opportunity to obtain those grants.
  • Is the right thing to do.


We cannot stress it enough: when in doubt, it is better to report.
