Report a Crime or Traffic Complaint Online
If this is an Emergency, do not file a report online, but instead call 911 immediately.
Online reporting is an effective method of reporting non-serious crimes to the Victoria Police Department, allowing you convenient reporting that is an efficient and effective use of police resources. Please note that online reporting is not appropriate for incidents in progress, or incidents where police attendance is required, as filing an online report will not dispatch a police officer for service.

When you report a crime online your incident file will be reviewed and given a temporary file number.
If the incident file is approved, you will be given a new police file number (approximately 3-5 business days).
If your report is rejected, you will be notified. Even though a police officer will not usually be assigned to your file, it’s important to report crime. Your report helps us identify patters and shift resources to protect your neighbourhood or area of concern appropriately.
