COVID-19 Update to Online Reporting
We have increased online reporting capabilities to ensure you are able to get the services you need while practicing safe distancing measures.
Previous filters have been removed that prevented online reporting of incidents where there was a suspect, CCTV or forensic evidence. We have also expanded our categories, which you will find below.
For all other property-related offences, please call your local district office. Officers are available to answer questions and take some reports over the phone.
Call 9-1-1 for crimes in progress, or 403-266-1234 for late reporting of crimes involving violence against people, this includes all forms of abuse, robberies and break and enters in residences.
