The police aren't necessarily exactly the sharpest tools in the toolbox, so I can see why the words could be used in the wrong context.
An incident is a happening, an event.
An accident is a mistake or crash or problem.

An accident is an incident that occurred unintentionally. An accident can as stated in the previous sentence be the incident you are naratting!!. An incident is any situation -either accidental or otherwise that has occurred!! Clear?

an accident is really something that was done unpurposefully...
an incident can be an accident or someting done purposefully- it's basically an episode in which something happens... for example an incident could be a car crash or if a glass breaks.... it's an "unfortunate" event really
