There are several conditions,however, if you’d like to report a crime online including using your real name when reporting a crime, there are no witnesses or suspects, follow up by police must not be required, reports shouldn’t include personal identification, and the user must agree to the terms.

The pilot project was launched in the summer of 2019 and has now expanded to more communities across BC.
