Called to report a theft and they basically told me I can just open a police report online since it's not an emergency. In my mind I began to question why there's a non emergency number if nothing is going to happen to these criminals? They will just continue to steal while the police are out there giving away traffic tickets. It just blows my mind! No wonder these people continue to steal, they know nothing is going to happen.
