Garfield County Sheriff's Office Online Reporting Form
 
 
It is okay if you don't remember something or are unsure of what exactly happened.
 
What is important is that you do not feel pressured to provide information or guess.

If you would like, this can be the first step in a process of talking about what happened to you or someone else. You may always provide more information in the future.
