Whitehorse RCMP piloting new Online Crime Reporting tool

March 3, 2021
Whitehorse, Yukon

News release

The Whitehorse RCMP is launching a new online reporting tool to assist residents in reporting select non-emergency crimes. This is part of a pilot project for the Whitehorse RCMP's new Online Crime Reporting tool for residents living within the Whitehorse RCMP policing boundaries.

Online Crime Reporting provides an alternate way for citizens to report non-emergency crimes on line at: https://ocre-sielc.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/ and through the Whitehorse RCMP mobile app. Citizens with a valid email address can report non-emergency crimes that occurred in the City and rural Whitehorse where there is no suspect or witness and where follow up by a police officer is not immediately required. Specifically, residents will be able to report the following crimes online:

  • Damage/mischief to property under $5,000;
  • Damage/mischief to a vehicle under $5,000;
  • Hit and run to an unoccupied vehicle or property;
  • Theft of bicycle under $5,000;
  • Theft under $5,000;
  • Theft from vehicle under $5,000;
  • Lost property; and,
  • Driving complaints not in progress.

Crime reports from the public are an essential part of determining how our policing resources are deployed in the city. This additional reporting tool will enhance our service delivery to residents of Whitehorse by making it more convenient for residents to report non-emergency crimes, while allowing police to focus on emergency calls for service and be engaged in the community.
