'Eliminate confusion': Alberta RCMP launch non-emergency line
In an effort to cut down on unnecessary 911 calls, Alberta RCMP have launched a province-wide non-emergency line, 310-RCMP.
The launch is designed to streamline the reporting process to help in the early parts of investigations, and ultimately reduce the number of calls to 911 that aren't needed.
'310-RCMP was created to help eliminate confusion about which detachment someone should call if they experience a non-emergency that doesn't require police attendance,' said Chris Spence, director of the operational communications centre in Alberta in a release this week.
'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.'
