Did you know you can submit certain crime reports online? The online crime reporting tool allows Albertans to report select property crimes electronically.
You can use Online Crime Reporting if:
You have lost something that costs less than $5000
Someone has stolen something from you that costs less than $5000
Someone has vandalized your property or vehicle and it will cost less than $5000 to repair it
The crime happened within the jurisdiction of the Alberta RCMP
You cannot use Online Crime Reporting if:
There is a witness or suspect
There are lost or stolen items involving personal identity, firearms, license plates or decals
The new online crime map enables the RCMP to share current criminal incidents with members of the community.
Icons are layered on a map of Edson to show where crimes have taken place, although due to privacy reasons the exact location of the crime cannot be pinpointed.
The RCMP hopes that the map will help encourage citizens to report suspicious activity, strengthening thier intelligence gathering capability, and helping to make arrests.
