FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(St. Thomas ON – Monday June 12th 2023)
The St. Thomas Police Service is pleased to announce the launch of the Citizens Online Police Reporting System. A new tool for residents of St. Thomas to report a crime.
In an effort to provide the community with a convenient solution to reporting a crime after the fact, the online reporting tool modernizes police service delivery and allows the report of non urgent crime at anytime, from anywhere.
The citizens online reporting portal has a series of qualifying questions to let users know if the portal is applicable for the crime being reported. The following criteria need to be met to use the online system:
- This is not an Emergency
- This incident occurred within the St. Thomas Police Service city limits
- There are no known suspects
- This did not occur on a Provincial highway
Upon review, if further investigation of a report is needed, the resident or business owner may be contacted by an officer.
