A new online tool for reporting crimes to RCMP is launching in some parts of Manitoba today.
For the time being, the online crime reporting tool will be available only in the Selkirk, Red River North, and Grand Marais areas — but it could soon be expanded to more communities across Manitoba.
In areas where the program has launched, residents can report the following crimes to RCMP online:
- Damage/mischief to property under $5,000
- Theft of bicycle under $5,000
- Theft under $5,000
- Theft from vehicle under $5,000
- Lost property
RCMP say a typical online report will take 15 minutes to file, and still want all emergency calls to be directed to 9-1-1.
