Did you know? Online Crime Reporting
Online Crime Reporting gives New Brunswickers, in RCMP area of jurisdiction, an alternate way to report certain non-emergency crimes without calling the police, or visiting a detachment.
In case of an emergency, always dial 9-1-1. For non-emergency incidents in New Brunswick, call 1-888-506-RCMP. For incidents outside the province, contact your local police.
How does it work?
The easy-to-use website guides you through a series of questions to give police information about your incident.
At the end, you will receive an email confirmation with an incident number and a report, which can be used for insurance purposes. The entire report takes about 15 minutes.
All reports submitted via Online Crime Reporting are reviewed by the RCMP, and are entered into the RCMP's record management system.
A police officer will contact you if more information is required.
