Those crimes can be reported at https://www.frontlinepss.com/lcsoreporting. The Sheriff’s Office will review the details of the report and respond accordingly. Users will first be directed to a disclaimer page. Once they have read and accepted the terms, they will be directed to a page to enter the incident details and personal contact information, The page offers a place to attach a photo, if necessary.
