If you are reporting an emergency, stay on the line and answer the dispatcher's questions as clearly and calmly as you can.

Remember, if you are in immediate danger, always call 911.

Reporting vandalism

The South Brunswick Police Department allows residents to file police reports online, by phone, or in person at the police station. Vandalism is included in the list of crimes that can be reported online.

Vandalism is the intentional and illegal defacing, destruction, or damage of private or public property. It may be a misdemeanour or felony offence, depending on the amount of property damage and state law. In many states, damage to property valued at less than $400 falls into the category of a misdemeanour, and property damage of $400 or more constitutes a felony.

• Take photographs of the vandalism damage: The police report will ask you to submit pictures of the damage with your report.
• Contact the South Brunswick Police Department: You can file a report online, by phone, or in person at the police station. The online form asks for details such as the type of vandalism, a description of the property damage, and information about any suspects.
• Provide a detailed description of the property damage: Give specific and concrete details about the property, the ways in which it was damaged, and the extent of the damage. Include a cost estimate for cleanup, repairs, or replacement of the property.
• Provide information about any suspects: Information about suspects usually requires filing the report in person at the police station. Provide the name, date of birth, address, and telephone number of the suspect(s).
• File an insurance claim: If the vandalism was committed against your own property, contact your insurance company to make a claim. You will need to provide evidence of the damage and a copy of the police report.
