When calling you will be asked:

• What is the problem?
• Where is the problem?
• Is it still happening (in progress)?
• How many people are involved?
• Are there weapons involved?
• What do the people look like (sex, age, race, height, weight, what are they wearing)?
• Are there vehicles involved?
• Can you describe them (year, make, model, color, license plate)?
• Which way did they go?
• What is your name, address, and telephone number.

You may make a police report at 155 Center Street or online.

If you are reporting a non-emergency issue, you can use our online police reporting system in certain circumstances. This website can be used to report harassing phone calls, hit and runs, lost property, theft, identity theft, vehicle burglary, vehicle tampering and vandalism cases unless you know or think you know the suspect. If you have suspect information, you should work directly with a police officer by calling or visiting the police department.

Because we do not staff officers at the station, a beat officer will be responding to take your report. There may be a wait. Although most crimes/incidents may be reported at the police department, an officer may need to respond to the scene of the incident. It is our goal to provide you with the most efficient and prompt service possible. However, calls are prioritized as to seriousness. For non-emergency "cold" police reports only, a wait of two to four hours is typical. By prioritizing our calls in this manner we are better able to respond to higher priority, more serious crime incidents in a timely manner. Whenever possible, you will be advised of delays.
