Incident (Police) Reports

Incident Reports are completed anytime a crime occurs or an individual is arrested within the City Limits of Aiken. They are also completed for situations, though not criminal in nature that may need to be documented. Examples of this include child custody disputes, Trespass Notices being issued and civil matters.
