Lost & Found / Police · Ocean City, Maryland

When should I call police non-emergency versus 911?

Answer

Use 911 for immediate danger, medical emergencies, and active crimes in progress. Use the Ocean City Police non-emergency line for lost property reports, noise complaints, and follow-ups that can wait. Save both numbers in your contacts before beach day.
