New Virtual Online Reporting 
May 14, 2021 — The Harris County Sheriff’s Office has launched a new Virtual Deputy program that gives residents another option for submitting a Criminal Mischief, Lost Property, or Theft report.
Anyone with a webcam or a camera-equipped cell phone can submit a report directly to a deputy using video conferencing. The same restrictions for online reporting do apply. You can connect to a Virtual Deputy Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
“The past year has taught us that many routine matters can be handled via video conference, rather than a face-to-face meeting,” said Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez. “The Virtual Deputy program simplifies a process that can be time-consuming and frustrating. Our goal is to make the process easier for our residents and more efficient for our deputies.”
To start the process, log onto harriscountyso.org; go to Online Reporting under the Report Crimes tab, then scroll down to Virtual Deputy, and begin.
