Over the Phone reporting available for certain types of police reports.
Good Afternoon, beginning Monday, March 16th, several police officers will be available Monday thru Friday between the hours 7:00 AM and 5 PM to take police reports over the phone for certain types of calls. This service will be used in the wake of the COVID-19 coronavirus currently affecting our state and will continue until further notice. The types of calls that our officers will take over the phone are those that do not require an on-scene investigation to be conducted, evidence to be collected, or otherwise require an officer to respond to the scene. Residents having incident’s meeting these criteria are encouraged to utilize this service. The goal of this temporary procedure is to help cut down on unnecessary in-person contact and help mitigated the risks associated with person-to-person transmission of the novel coronavirus. We feel that because our officers interact with many people throughout the day, having them unnecessarily interact with residents, many of which are considered ‘vulnerable’, is a prudent and judicious approach to limiting a possible exposure. As always, we thank you for your cooperation.
Instructions:
continue to call 732.657.6111 to make a police report, and, if applicable, Monday through Friday from 0700 AM - 500 PM residents can have those reports taken over the phone.
