How does the Online Crime Reporting tool work?
It takes about 15 minutes to report a crime using the OCR tool. The OCR website will guide you through a serious of questions to give police information regarding the crime. Once submitted, you will receive an email with an incident number and a police officer will contact you if more information is required.

Saskatchewan Crime Watch Advisory Network
WHAT IS IT?
When a detachment becomes aware of an incident or crime, they can issue an advisory via the system, and anyone who has signed up for the program will become aware of what happened within minutes! The system will send the advisory to your smartphone or landline, via text message, email, or text-to-speech (depending on your own preference).
HOW DO I SIGN UP?
Signing up to be part of the network is free and only takes a few minutes. You choose which RCMP detachment area(s) you want to receive notifications from (one or multiple), and how you want to receive them - whether it be via text message, email, a text-to-voice phone call or the app. Note: an app is available, but it is not required. Even residents who only have a landline can sign up and receive the advisories.
Visit www.saskcrimewatch.ca to sign up!
WHO SHOULD SIGN UP?
We encourage anyone and EVERYONE to join the network – residents, corporations and organizations could all benefit from receiving these advisories. You do not need to be part of an existing crime prevention group to sign up. EVERYONE should sign up for this system, including those people who are already part of a group.
The concept of the program is simple: sign up to receive advisories from your local RCMP and assist us by serving as the ‘eyes and ears’ of your community.
