    4. 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
