Report a Crime or Tip

Currently, the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office website does not support the ability to report a crime or incident online, but we are continuing to develop that capability.

Until then, please contact our Combined Communications Center at (352) 955-1818 to report a crime, or you may also report in person at our location at 2621 SE Hawthorne Road, Gainesville, FL 32641 . You’ll find a telephone in the lobby to reach our dispatchers. We can also be reached toll free at (866) 273-5910, 24 hours a day.

Anonymous Reporting Through Crime Stoppers

We need your information, not your name.

We work closely with Crime Stoppers to help solve cases and arrest fugitives, while allowing citizens to remain completely anonymous. Crime Stoppers tips can pay up to $1000, if the information you provide results in an arrest. You don’t have to give your name…just call in what you know. If an arrest is made, you get paid!

Visit Crime Stoppers website to learn more, call (352) 372-STOP, or submit your tip right away using the P3Tips app on your Apple or Android smartphone.

Submit Information Online

We do understand the convenience of providing information online. Again, while we cannot accept an actual report at this time, you can provide information about criminal activity, issues affecting the community, and/or tips about wanted individuals using the online form below. All information is sent via email to our Combined Communications Center. Disclaimer – If you have an emergency, call 911.
