If there is an emergency, call 911.
No one knows better what belongs, or does not belong, in an area than do the people who live or work there. Those same residents or workers are the ones most likely to notice behavior or activity that is unusual or suspicious. Capitol Police want to hear from you if something just isn’t right. We would rather investigate unusual circumstances that turn out to be fine a hundred times rather than miss something serious one time because someone didn’t call to report what they saw.
Reporting Suspicious Activity
To report suspicious activity please contact Capitol Police at: 207-287-HELP (4357)

- Your name and how we can reach you
