Security Hotline FAQs

Here are some frequently asked questions about the Rockford Housing Authority (RHA) Security Hotline. These are designed to help you quickly find answers and reduce the need to contact us directly.

What is the Security Hotline, and when should I use it?

The Security Hotline is for reporting non-emergency safety concerns at RHA properties, like suspicious activity, vandalism, or other issues that aren’t life-threatening. Use it to help keep our communities safe. For immediate dangers, always call 911 first.

You can call the Rockford Police Non-Emergency line at 815-966-2900, or submit an anonymous report using our online form on this page. Include details like what happened, where, and when, but you don’t need to share your personal info if you prefer not to.

Yes, absolutely. Both the phone line and online form allow anonymous reports to protect your privacy. We encourage reporting without fear of retaliation.

Your report goes to the appropriate authorities or RHA security team for review. They may investigate, increase patrols, or take other steps to address the issue. If you provide contact info, we might follow up for more details, but anonymous reports are handled without that.

The Security Hotline is for safety and crime-related issues. For maintenance emergencies like leaks or no heat after business hours, use our After-Hours Emergency line at 815-489-8585.
