  • Step One

    1. File an Incident Report with the Edgewater Police Department
      All cases filed using the Edgewater Police Department's Citizen Online Reporting System will be reviewed. Upon review, if further investigation of your case is needed, you may be contacted.
    2. If the incident you wish to report is an emergency, a crime in progress, or involves any type of injury, please do not submit the report online but rather DIAL 9-1-1. The loss or theft of prescription medication, narcotic or otherwise, CANNOT be reported online. For any incident that requires a police officer to respond, please dial the Edgewater Police Department non-emergency number, 201-943-2200
    3. Before you proceed, you should be aware that it is a crime to make a false police report, and that all instances of false reports will be prosecuted. This online reporting system is only to be used to report a limited set of criminal incidents with very specific criteria, listed below.
    4. IF THIS IS AN EMERGENCY OR CRIME IN PROGRESS, PLEASE CALL 911.
