Who to Call

Call this number only when urgent police, fire, or ambulance service is needed (24 hours).

We urge you to call 911 when:

• You believe someone is in imminent danger
• You believe a specific crime is happening
• You believe something is suspicious

• Wildlife complaints
• Wildlife on road
• Bear in area
• Injured wildlife

The Alberta RCMP has an Online Reporting website to assist citizens in reporting crimes rather than having to attend an RCMP detachment for lost or stolen items valued at less than $5,000, or vandalism to property or vehicles that will cost less than $5,000 to repair.   In order to report these incidents, there can be no known witnesses or suspects, the lost/stolen items can not include personal identification, firearms, licence plates, or decals and these incidents must have occurred in the Alberta RCMP jurisdiction. 

Call this number 24 hours a day to report new or recent crime, if you do not meet the criteria for using the Online Reporting website. 

· Break-ins or thefts where the suspect is gone
· Suspicious vehicle, person or activity
· Non-urgent cases where immediate police attendance is not crucial
· Driving complaints

For non-urgent situations, call the RCMP Administration Line during regular office hours.
