Aberdeen Police Department has updated its non-emergency reporting system to improve response times for non-emergency incidents, effective September 12, 2026.
The update allows residents to submit reports online for non-emergencies, reducing wait times for police dispatch. The department emphasized that emergency calls should still be made via 911.
Residents are encouraged to use the new online portal for non-urgent matters like property damage, lost items, and minor traffic incidents to free up emergency lines for critical situations.
