However, RCMP say there are certain criteria that also must apply in order to complete an online report:

• No witnesses or suspects
• No items lost or stolen over $5,000
• No damages over $5,000
• No items involving personal identity, firearms, license plates or decals

In a news release, Kamloops RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Jodi Shelkie says giving the public the ability to make certain reports online will free up “front line personnel, including both police dispatchers and police officers, to respond to more serious crimes or emergencies.”

Supt. Syd Lecky adds the online reporting tool is more convenient for the public and more efficient for the police force.
