reporting crime & protecting your home

Where life, safety, or property is in immediate danger or there is a crime in progress - call the Emergency Number 911.

For suspicious behaviour or a crime that has already happened:

It is very important to report suspicious behaviour. The data which is collected by EPS drives increased patrols in our neighbourhood.


Rossdale Incident Reporting

Neighbours are the eyes and ears of the community and community becomes stronger when we all share information.

The Rossdale Incident Reporter is for residents of the Rossdale Community League to report incidents that may or may not have also been reported to EPS / EFRS / 311.

 This information will be used for:

  • supporting the police with non urgent information such as suspicious persons,

  • forming an incident record, complete with photos and videos from within our community

  • and helping to get resources allocated to our community.  

When you experience an incident or encounter suspicious activity, please access the Rossdale Incident Reporter form to make a report. It only takes one minute. Activities can be entered retro-actively to January 2020. Regardless of how minor you think an incident is, many small pieces of information form a big picture.

 This incident log does not replace reporting to police, fire, or 311 and we encourage you to continue reporting incidents there as well.
