RCMP and Crimestoppers achieving impressive results
PRINCE GEORGE – The Prince George RCMP’S new campaign See Something Say Something encourages residents to report crimes to police. Reporting a Crime or where to report it can often be confusing and this week the RCMP are explaining the best way to go about it.
“911 is for a an emergency that’s occurring right now when you need first responders to whatever situation is going on, possibly a life or death situation or something that that needs a response immediately. Even if it’s not life or death if you see a crime in progress, that would constitute a 911 call. ” said Corporal Jennifer Cooper of the Prince George RCMP.
There are multiple ways to report a crime that doesn’t constitute an emergency. The first is the RCMP’s non-emergency line for a crime that isn’t an emergency, is not in progress and doesnt require an immediate response. The second is the online crime reporting tool which provides the public with an alternative way to report less serious crimes in Prince George and the surrounding areas. The last method is to contact Northern B.C Crimestoppers which allows individuals to submit anonymous tips about crimes with rewards available for information leading to arrests.
