The key to keeping crime rate low in the City of Lemoore is:
If the Police Department does not know that crimes have been committed, they will assume there are no problems in our neighborhoods or anywhere else.
*If it is a "crime in progress" call 911.
*If you discover a crime in the City of Lemoore after it has happened,
call (360) 651-5050.
*Do not use your alarm unless someone is in your home or place of
business, threatening you by use of "force of fear". They may or may not
be armed.
*Answer all the questions the Police Dispatcher asks. If possible have a
general description of the individual(s) including height, hair color,
clothing.
*If the individual(s) get into a vehicle note the color and make and
license plate number if possible. Note the direction the person takes
either in a car or on foot. Police cars will immediately have been sent
to the area and will be looking for the person(s).
*Write down what happened while it is fresh in your mind. Date the note. A
police officer will respond . The more detailed the information you
provide, the better the chance of arrest.
It is important that you follow through with your call. You will have to file a complaint and if the individual is caught, you may have to go to court. (Nine of ten cases will never go to court, but will be settled on some level of plea bargaining.)
