Report a crime online
If you require immediate assistance, please call 9-1-1.
The RCMP does not accept reports of crime via e-mail or social media.
To report a crime, or for immediate police assistance, contact your local RCMP detachment or the police service of jurisdiction in your area.
If you live outside Canada, please contact your local police service and ask them to make a request for assistance from the appropriate Canadian law enforcement agency.
You can provide anonymous and secure tips by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), texting TIP202 + your message to "CRIMES" (274637) or by Secure Web Tips.
Nova Scotians in areas of RCMP jurisdiction can submit an online crime report for some non-emergency incidents, such as:
- Mischief/damage to property or vehicle (under $5,000)
- Hit-and-run of an unoccupied vehicle/property (under $5,000)
- Theft under $5,000 (including bicycles and theft from vehicles)
- Lost property (including licence plates and registration tags)
After submitting the online crime report, you will receive an email confirmation with an incident number, and an officer will follow up with you in five business days.
Do not submit a report online if:
- stolen property includes firearms, credit cards or personal identification such as a driver's licence or passport
- the value of stolen or damaged property exceeds $5,000
- there are witnesses or video evidence of the crime
