The online tool allows the public to report specific property crimes, including damage or mischief to property and bicycle and vehicle theft under $5,000.
Officials noted that all crimes reported through the new online portal will be followed up with a phone call from an officer in the RCMP’s call back unit within five business days.On June 1, the initiative was launched as a pilot project in several Alberta communities, including Airdrie, Banff, Cold Lake, Grande Prairie, Red Deer and Strathcona County, and is now being expanded to encompass the entire province.
“The Alberta RCMP is always looking for new opportunities to modernize and streamline our services for all Albertans – no matter where they live in the province,” deputy commissioner and commanding officer Curtis Zablocki said in a news release Tuesday. “Online crime reporting is accessible and convenient and will help us capture more intelligence when it comes to property crime occurring in all of the communities we serve. Offering a contactless service is also vital in these times when physical distancing is so important.”
