Citizen Report
See something developing around Richmond?
Send a live tip, photo link, or public social post about Richmond, Henrico, Chesterfield, Hanover, Goochland, or Central Virginia activity. Tips are treated as unverified until Signal RVA can match them to public sources.
Send public posts or source links.
Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, VDOT, PulsePoint, news, and official agency links help Signal RVA corroborate fast without exposing private accounts.
Do not chase scenes or block responders.
Signal RVA is not an emergency service. Call 911 for urgent threats, injuries, fire, crimes in progress, or anyone needing immediate help.
Live Tip
Send enough context to match it to the map.
Links and precise location details matter most. Do not include private medical information, license plates, private addresses unrelated to the incident, or anything that would put you or responders at risk.
