Brooks RCMP is reminding residents they are able to connect police through the province-wide phone line dedicated to reporting non-emergency police matters such as minor motor vehicle collisions, scams, lost property or minor motor vehicles collisions.

The number 310-7267 (RCMP) is a phone line that helps streamline the reporting process and ease pressures on 911 dispatch services, with the goal of providing more efficient police responses to non-urgent incidents.

“310-RCMP calls are directed to the Alberta Operational Communication Centre who then dispatch non-emergency calls in the order of their priority,” reads the statement. “The number is accessible to all Albertans within the province with a phone line or an active mobile phone with a cellular signal.”

Last week RCMP released a public services announcement encouraging residents to reach out on this phone line during situations that do not pose an immediate or potential threat to life or public safety.

“(That) includes crimes that have already taken place prior to being discovered,” reads the statement. “Often do not require police attendance, but do require police response.”

Examples also include property damage estimated under $5,000 as well as any thefts estimated under $5,000.

Residents are also able to report crimes online by visiting rcmp-grc.gc.ca/ab and select the “Online Crime Reporting” tab.
