Tips for Using Report Rio Rancho:

  • Stay safe, it is illegal to text or type on handheld mobile devices (including website or application use) while driving in the State of New Mexico. If you text or type on handheld mobile devices while driving you can be subject to a citation and/or fine by the Police Department.
  • Be sure that the GPS feature on your device is turned on.
  • The mobile application works much better outdoors than it does indoors. This is especially true of Blackberries which rely heavily on satellite communications.
  • Most data plans allow for unlimited photos and incident submissions; check your plan.
  • Try to provide additional comments such as streets, cross-streets, or landmarks.
  • Avoid zooming in too far when taking the photograph. Try to include any identifying or distinguishing objects that are nearby.
  • Please do not submit duplicate requests with multiple photos. Submit the single best photo or ticket representing the issue and include comments for multiple tags.
