Did you know that since 2019, Prince George RCMP has been accepting crime reports through our Online Crime Reporting tool?

In addition to providing a more convenient way for residents to make a report of a less urgent nature, this tool allows call-takers and frontline personnel to focus on higher priority calls, which will improve the overall safety and response times in the city. Emergencies and crimes against a person, however, should still go through the non-emergency line or through 9-1-1, states Cpl. Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.

In order to make a report online, the following conditions must be met:

• The person making the online report needs to use their real name and have a valid e-mail address;
• There are not any witnesses or suspects (this restriction does not apply to driving complaints);
• Follow-up by a police officer is not required;
• Reports cannot involve personal identification (passports, drivers licences, etc) or firearms;
• The user needs to agree to the terms and conditions of use.

Incidences that are reportable online are:

• Damage/mischief to property where the value is under $5000;
• Damage/mischief to a vehicle where the value is under $5000;
• Hit & run to property or an unoccupied vehicle;
• Theft of bicycle where the value is under $5000;
• Theft of other property where the value is under $5000;
• Theft from a vehicle where the value is under $5000;
• General driving behavior reports that are not in progress;
• Lost property including licence plates or validation decals on licence plates.

To make a report using the Online Crime Reporting tool, follow the links on our home page at princegeorge.rcmp-grc.gc.ca or directly at report.rcmp.ca.
