factors
are present, no follow-up investigation will be conducted unless further information is developed
about
your

If you receive further information about your case, contact the detective Bureau between 8:00am
and
5:00pm, Monday through Friday, at 620-694-2832 and you will be put in
contact with the detective

your case.
SOLVABILITY FACTORS CONSIDERED IN DETERMINING ACTIVE
CASE FOLLOW-UP:
One or more of the following conditions must be present before an active
follow-up
investigation will be initiated.
PROPERTY CRIMES:
If your case involves stolen property that has a serial number, this property will be
entered into the FBI’s National Crime Information Computer (NCIC) which can be checked by any police
officer
in the United States. Local pawn shops are monitored and report all pawns or purchases to the police
department. If you discover any additional loss or locate the serial number of your stolen item(s),
compile
a complete list of the items(s) and replacement cost(s).
Bring this list to the Hutchinson
Police
Department, 210 West 1st, Hutchinson, Kansas, 67501-5204 or call 620-694-2816 and make an additional
report.
If you have property vandalized, bring or mail at least two estimates for repair or replacement to the same above address. If your checkbook or credit cards are stolen, you are responsible for notifying your bank or credit corporation. This should be done immediately to avoid possible liability for unauthorized charges to your accounts.

HPDRecords@renolec.com
or call 620-694-2838.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE:
The City of Hutchinson is actively committed to intervention and prosecution of all
domestic
violence cases. Criminal charges are filed by the city or county and not by the victim of domestic
violence.
A
case will not be dismissed because the victim requests that the charges be dismissed. Prosecution is
at
the
discretion of the City Prosecutor or District Attorney. Information about your case may be made
public.
The
victim of a crime or the victim’s family shall be notified by the city prosecutor or the district
attorney
of
the right to be present at any public hearing where the accused or the convicted person has the
right to
appear
and be heard.
If you are identified as a victim of a Domestic Violence case filed by the Hutchinson Police Department, you should be aware of certain conditions that apply to the case and the suspect.
A four-hour hold is placed on most DV arrestees. This means the suspect, or person arrested, will not be allowed to bond out for at least four hours. In some cases, a longer hold is applied.
The Hutchinson Municipal Court places a no-contact order on the suspect after a DV arrest. This means that the suspect is not allowed to contact the victim after his/her release from jail. This no contact order is in place until the judge dismisses the order. The order will not be dismissed until the case is completely closed by the court. If the suspect contacts you while the no-contact order is in place, contact the police or sheriff at your location for investigation and possible charges against the suspect.
The Reno County Sheriff’s Office participates in the VINE (Victim Information and Notification Everyday) program. To receive notice of the suspects release from jail, visit www.vinelink.com, call 1-866-574-8463, or download the VINE mobile app and follow the instructions. TTY users can call 1-866-847-1298.

In some cases, the person arrested (defendant) can be released from custody in a short amount of time. In some cases, a bond condition may be imposed on the person arrested that prohibits contact with the victim for 72 hours. If the defendant contacts the victim during that time, the victim should notify law enforcement and any available services within the jurisdiction to monitor custody changes of the person being arrested immediately to report the incident. This includes, but not limited to, the Kansas victim information and notification everyday service if available in such jurisdiction. This could be a violation of the condition of a bond and is a separate violation which may be pursued by the city prosecutor.
