Norway, MI non-emergency police number
This is the agency's main published line from the federal law-enforcement registry (BJS census of state and local law-enforcement agencies). No number labelled “non-emergency” was found on the agency's own site, so treat this as the general business line. See Methodology.
Norway, MI had 2,840 residents at the 2020 Census and is served by the Norway Police Department, within Dickinson County. Use the number above for anything that is not an emergency; call 911 if anyone is in danger.
When to call 911 instead
Call 911 if any of this is true right now:
- Someone is injured, unconscious, or threatening to hurt somebody.
- A crime is in progress, or the suspect is still nearby.
- There is a fire, a gas smell, or a crash with injuries or blocked traffic.
- You are not sure. A dispatcher would rather triage one unnecessary 911 call than miss a real one.
Use the non-emergency number for things that have already finished and nobody is in danger:
- A theft, burglary, or vandalism discovered after the fact, including when you need a report number for insurance.
- A car blocking a driveway or hydrant, an abandoned vehicle, a parking complaint.
- Noise, a loud party, fireworks, or a barking dog.
- A minor collision with no injuries where the vehicles have been moved.
- Found property, a follow-up on an existing case, or a general question for Norway Police Department.
Non-emergency lines are usually answered by the same communications centre as 911, but at a lower priority — expect to hold, and expect to be asked whether anyone is in danger.

Norway, MI 49870
County sheriff — Dickinson County
If the incident happened outside the city limits, or you need the county jail, civil process, or court security, the sheriff's office handles it.
311 and 211
311 is for city services rather than policing — potholes, missed collections, street lights, parking, and in some cities non-emergency police reports. Where a city runs a 311 service, the page says so above.
211 is a free nationwide line for health and human services: housing, food, utility assistance, mental health, and crisis support. It is operated by local United Way and partner organisations and is available in most of the country by dialling 211 or through 211.org.
Questions about calling Norway police
What is the non-emergency police number for Norway, MI?
(906) 563-5801 is the main published line for Norway Police Department in the federal law-enforcement registry. Norway Police Department does not publish a separately labelled non-emergency number that we could confirm, so call this line during business hours and ask to be put through.
Can I call this number to report a crime that already happened in Norway?
Yes — that is what it is for. Have the address, the time, a description of what was taken or damaged, and any suspect or vehicle description ready. Ask for the case or report number before you hang up; insurers almost always want it.
Is the Norway non-emergency line answered 24 hours a day?
Most non-emergency lines ring into the same communications centre as 911 and are answered around the clock, but some ring a front desk that closes in the evening. If nobody answers and the matter is genuinely urgent, call 911.
What if the incident was outside Norway city limits?
Unincorporated parts of Dickinson County are covered by the sheriff's office. See the Dickinson County page.
