Make Non-Emergency Police Reports by Calling 310-RCMP

via Facebook

Effective April 17, 2025, individuals in Alberta are able to make non-emergency police reports by calling 310-RCMP, or 310-7267.

The new function is designed to streamline the crime reporting process, optimize early stages of investigations, and lessen unnecessary calls to 911, according to a release.

“310-RCMP was created to help eliminate confusion about which detachment someone should call if they experience a non-emergency. Non-emergencies often require a police response, but not necessarily an immediate police attendance,” said Chris Spence, director of the Alberta RCMP Operational Communication Centre.

“We encourage people to report non-emergencies, as this helps us focus frontline efforts on high-priority calls and deploy resources in areas that need it most.”

310-RCMP calls are directed to the Alberta Operational Communication Centre, which then dispatch non-emergency calls in the order of their priority. These calls will receive a police response.

Long-distance charges do not apply, and no area code prefix is required. The number is accessible to all Albertans with a phone line or an active mobile phone with a cellular signal.

Non-emergencies

• do not pose an immediate or potential threat to life or public safety.

• include crimes that have already taken place prior to being discovered.

• often do not require police attendance, but do require police response.

Examples include but are not limited to:

• minor motor vehicle collisions.

• break and enters that already took place.

• scams in which money or personal information was not transferred or provided.

• lost property.

• property damage under $5,000.

• theft under $5,000.
