This form is designed to enable citizens to report motor vehicle accidents that are not investigated by police. Use this form to report an accident that occured on private property (such as a parking lot, for example) or when circumstances make an immediate police investigation of a roadway accident impractical or impossible (such as ice, impassable snow, natural disasters, etc.). This .pdf form is available for download only. Turn the completed form in to your insurance company. Note: This form may only be used to report a non-injury motor vehicle that happened inside the city limits of Hot Springs, Arkansas.
STATIONARY RADAR/TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT REQUEST
This interactive online submission form enables you to make a request for the placement of our stationary radar unit in an effort to encourage drivers to reduce their speed. You may also use this form to request enhanced traffic enforcement support for areas that are experiencing an identifieable problem such as traffic congestion st specific times, recurring reckless drivers, problems associated with ongoing construction, etc. Complete the form and submit it online and a member of our traffic section will investigate the issue further.
As a courtesy to the public the Hot Springs Police Department will, at your request and as time and manpower permits, increase patrols in the area of your home or property when you plan to be away for an extended period.

A police "Ride-Along" is a once in a lifetime experience that you won't soon forget. In an effort to help educate the public we offer a ride-along experience to selected applicants who meet the minimum application guidelines and approval process. Generally, this opportunity is extended to those who attend our Citizens Police Academy. Due to the sensitive nature of the information required on this form we are unable to offer it as an online submission at this time. To apply for a ride-along experience you can download our application, complete the form and return it to our Public Relations office. A background check and an interview will be conducted to insure that you are a suitable candidate for a police ride-along experience.
The Stolen Property List Form is provided for you in the event that you are the victim of a theft, burglary or breaking/entering where you have multiple items missing. AFTER YOU HAVE MADE A POLICE REPORT you can download this list and do a thorough inventory making note of your missing items, their descriptions, serial numbers, etc. Once your list is complete you will need to turn the list in to our Criminal Investigations Division so it can be included as a supplement to your initial police report. This form may also be used to record any items that you discover missing later. This form is a .pdf for download only and is not an online submission form.
If you have a theft, burglary or B&E, call the police first - before you start taking inventory - in case there is evidence like fingerprints, etc. at the scene that needs to be collected.
