Albertans now have a simpler way to report non-emergency crimes and concerns to the RCMP with the launch of a new province-wide phone number:
310-RCMP (7267)
No area code required. No long-distance charges. Available anywhere in Alberta.
This new number makes it easier for residents to report non-urgent matters without needing to know which local detachment to call, helping streamline police services and reduce unnecessary calls to 911.
What is a non-emergency?
A non-emergency is any situation that:
-
Doesn’t pose an immediate threat to life or safety
-
Has already happened (not in progress)
-
May not require police to attend in person, but still needs police involvement
Examples include:
-
Minor vehicle collisions
-
Property damage or theft under $5,000
-
Scams or fraud attempts (with no loss of money or information)
-
Lost property
-
Break-ins that have already occurred
The new line is designed to ensure police resources are used where they’re most needed, allowing emergency responders to focus on urgent, life-threatening calls.
“310-RCMP was created to eliminate confusion about which detachment to call for non-emergencies,” said Chris Spence, director of Alberta RCMP’s Operational Communications Centre. “It helps our officers focus on priority incidents while ensuring every report gets the attention it deserves.”
