While you can report the loss/theft to local law enforcement, having the IMEI will not enable tracking. It can be used to identify the individual device should police recover an iPhone, but they cannot use it to find your individual device. Without Find My iPhone activated, there is no way to track the device, and it will be able to be restored and used by another person. I would contact your carrier to see if they participate in blacklisting services, which could prevent the device from being used locally with a carrier.
The link below is to an Apple Support page that describes what to do is your iOS device is lost or stolen. Scroll down to the section on "If Find My iPhone isn't Enabled on your Missing Device."
