What happens after my report is filed?
A report must first be completed by a patrol officer. The report is then approved by a patrol supervisor and assigned to an investigator. This process could take several days. However, if it is a serious felony case, such as a violent crime, a follow-up by a detective will be made sooner. All other cases, such as property crimes, are assigned and will be followed-up depending on the solvability of the case. Factors that influence the solvability of a case are suspect information, physical evidence, etc.
