Reporting crime online often saves time while providing you with the file number other information required for insurance claims. Online crime and traffic reports are reviewed by our staff, including our Analysis and Intelligence section, who use them alongside other information to track crime trends across Victoria and Esquimalt. These trends are used to deploy our officers and set our Patrol priorities.
