You cannot report a crime online if there is a witness or suspect, there are lost or stolen items involving personal identity or firearms, or there are lost or stolen licence plates or decals. To report these crimes, call the RCMP using the numbers listed above.
Crime map
RCMP detachments track reported crimes through an interactive crime map. The points on the map are not placed at the exact location of the crime; they are placed at nearby intersections or regions for privacy.
