In working with the citizens of Amherst and the surrounding area, APD has established this page so citizens can give us a "tip" about illegal activity, unlawful behavior and other areas of concern. If you need to make an official formal report, please call or visit the Amherst Police Department. Formal reports are not handled through this "e-tip" format. Submissions made through the form below will be reviewed every 24-48 hours. If you wish to remain anonymous, you may, but its best for us to follow-up on a report by calling and speaking with the reporting party. If you have an emergency, please call 911 or the Amherst Police Department at 673-4900.
