Online reporting is another manner in which the Ottawa Police Service enhances its service to the community. It’s easy, timely and effective. Online reports are only reviewed during the Call Centre’s hours of operation from 6 a.m. to 2 a.m. Once you submit the report, you will receive a temporary reference number until it is reviewed by an online agent (approximately 24 hours). Once reviewed, you will be contacted with further information.
