Fifth Street Road Project

The City of Lincoln, State of Illinois, and County of Logan have partnered to redevelop Fifth Street Road west of Lincoln Parkway (Old Route 66) to the Interstate overpass. Not only will this improve the roadway itself, but was to correct water drainage along the roadway itself from neighboring developments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I just send an email to report a crime?
A: No.  There are certain questions that need to be asked by a police officer.  We also do not check emails on a regular basis, so your email may not be responded to quickly.  It is best to call using the appropriate phone number.

 

Q: Is there a way to report the crime online without an officer coming to my home?

A: Although the department is looking into a reporting system, there may be clues or other information that is needed that an online system will not be able to capture.  For the time being we always ask that you call 217-732-2151 to initiate the report.  Some reports can be taken over the telephone.


Q: I am the victim of a identity theft where the suspect is not in Lincoln.  Do I file a complaint with the Lincoln Police Department?
A: Please read over the Federal Trade Commission's website for information about identity theft.  Then complete a Federal Trade Commission complaint form.  Print the completed FTC complaint form, print your credit report, and have available the paperwork that brought the identity theft to your attention and call the non-emergency line to request an officer.  

Q: I keep receiving phone calls from an unknown source.  Can I make a complaint?
A: Telemarketers often use the phone system to attempt to sell goods or services.  Please put your phone number on the Federal Do-Not-Call Registry.  If after you do this and continue to get calls, please contact the Lincoln Police Department on the non-emergency line to request an officer.
