Report a Crime

Welcome to the Barnegat Police Department’s on-line crime reporting system.

If you have an emergency, or the crime you want to report is happening right now, do NOT use this form; dial “911”.

If you need to report a minor crime involving the theft of property, car break-in, vandalism, etc., please complete and send us this electronic crime report.

Instructions:

Stolen Vehicles cannot be reported on this form.

• If you need to report more than one type of crime (or multiple instances), please send us a separate Report Form for each one.
