Albuquerque Police Department
Telephone Reporting Unit

The Telephone Reporting Unit is responsible for reports where the suspects identity is unknown as well as all minor crime reports that do not require any field investigation by patrol officers in the field. Telephone Reporting Unit (TRU) is staffed by civilian employees.  Because of this, crimes in which there is no suspect information or evidence (fingerprints, video, witnesses etc.) can be documented by an employee in TRU.  This enables officers to handle more urgent calls.

The following are examples of reports that can be taken over the phone:
Burglary
Auto Theft
Larceny
Lost Items (i.e. cell phones, purse)
Vandalism/Graffiti
Runaways
Simple Assault and Battery 
Harassment/Threats
Embezzlement
Indecent Exposure
Fraud/Forgery

*It is important to remember that TRU can ONLY take reports where the identity of the suspect is unknown.  For all other reports please call 242-COPS for immediate assistance.  If you have an emergency please call 911.

If you would like to make a police report for crimes within the city of Albuquerque, NM, call 505-768-2030, 7:00a.m. - 5:00p.m. M-F.  If a TRU employee is not available at the time of your call, you can leave a message or you can fill out the form below and we will contact you as soon as possible.
