A Message From the Boonton Township Police Department
Boonton Township Police Offers Online Reporting Service To Residents
Did you know that for certain non-emergent matters, you can file a police report with the Boonton Township Police Department remotely? The purpose of this function is to allow Boonton Township citizens, customers or any victim of a crime that occurred within the Township limits, to file police reports online. After completing all required information you will be able to print a copy of the information that you submitted. 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 dial 9-1-1. Domestic violence incidents do not qualify under the online reporting criteria and must have an officer respond. If you are unable to determine if the incident is related to Domestic Violence and not in progress dial the police non-emergent number (973) 402-4000 to have an officer respond to your location. The loss or theft of prescription medication or narcotics cannot be reported online. For any incident that requires a police officer to respond, dial the police non-emergency number (973) 402-4000 and choose "extension 0" to speak with the police dispatcher. This online reporting system is only to be used to report a set of limited criminal incidents with very specific criteria. To file a police report online visit our website at www.btpolice.org
