The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department (MNPD) has expanded its Citizen Online Reporting program to encompass additional types of criminal activities. The newly included categories are vandalism, identity theft, and theft from detached garages or sheds.
Vandalism is defined as damage done to private or business property where no burglary or theft occurred or was attempted. Identity theft involves the theft of personal information that is used by a suspect to open credit cards, utilities, or obtain a social security card. Theft from a detached garage or shed refers to items stolen from a locked or unlocked detached garage or shed outside a residential location, excluding motor vehicles, items from motor vehicles, or items stolen from rental storage.
