NBC Los Angeles-
In the spirit of social distancing, the Los Angeles Police Department was urging residents Monday to use an online system to notify police of non-emergency crimes.
For emergencies, a crime in progress, or any incident in which someone was injured, people should still call 911. However, incidents such as harassing phone calls, lost property, theft of property from a publicly accessible location — like a car or a porch — vandalism or illegal dumping may be reported online.
