If you are ever a victim of a crime then you need to fill out a police report with an officer. Sometimes you can forget certain information, in which case you need to file a supplemental report.
Identification
The supplemental police report exists so that you can make corrections to the initial official police report filed after the situation you experienced, according to the Springfield Missouri Police Department.
Features
Although the exact specifications depend on your local police department, you typically need the number of the original police report in order to file a supplemental form, according to the Tulsa, Oklahoma Police Department.
Considerations
You might also consider filling out a supplemental police report if you do not have enough room on the original report, or if you find out additional property theft occurred that was not reported, according to the Kelso, Washington Police Department.
Tips
Most police department websites have an online supplemental report form. This allows you to fill out a supplemental report from your computer without having to go to the station.
Warning
Generally, most police departments do not let you mail in a supplemental report. They will typically ignore any mailed reports.
