Citizen Self Reporting Report non-emergency incident via computer or mobile device.

The Ontario Provincial Police offers Citizen Self Reporting, it is another reporting tool that allows the public to report minor occurrences such as theft, mischief to property, lost property and driving complaints that occurred in areas policed by the OPP. 

Citizen Self Reporting is simple and convenient it allows members of the public to use a computer or mobile device to report an incident without requiring an officer to attend the scene.  This can be used when reporting incidents that do not involve injury or a suspect, or a crime that is not an emergency. The use of this new system is completely optional. Police will still attend a call for service if desired.
