As always, if the situation you are reporting is an emergency, if someone's life or property is in danger, don't hesitate to call 911. But if you want to report graffiti, missed trash pick-up, abandoned cars or need bus schedules, request or report those using the ABQ311 app or by calling 311. For issues such as requesting accident reports, non-emergency criminal activity, to report suspicious activity, to see real-time crime maps, and much more, use the APDMobile App!
