RCMP Hopes Use of Online Reporting for Less Urgent Crime Continues to Grow

The North Cowichan-Duncan RCMP are thanking residents for using the online crime reporting tool.
Since the tool was implemented last spring, 58 crimes have been reported, and RCMP say each online report saves about one hour of police time.
“In addition to providing a more convenient way for residents to make a report, this tool will minimize the amount of less serious files that are being dispatched to our Frontline officers,” Inspector Chris Bear says. “By utilizing the online reporting, it allows the police to attend the higher priority calls for service in a safe and timely fashion.”
