Santa Cruz uses CRSP for mapped service requests

Santa Cruz uses the Community Request for Service Portal, or CRSP, for mapped reports. The city page explains that the tool lets people map the issue location, upload photos, and get a notification when the issue is resolved.

The graffiti page is a good example of how to write a useful request. Give the nearest address or cross street, describe the object or surface, and add a photo. That same habit helps for many city service reports.

Santa Cruz can be tricky because one block may be near the beach, a park, downtown, a campus route, a creek, or a county road. A pin or cross street keeps the report from floating around.

Use CRSP for regular city service issues. For an emergency, active danger, or something that needs immediate police or fire response, use the emergency path instead of the portal.
