9-1-1 remains the number to call at Timmins Police in an emergency.
The force has now added an online way of reporting non-emergency incidents from your smartphone or computer. Chief Denis Lavoie says it streamlines workflows, allowing officers to focus on emergency and high-priority cases.
He adds that it creates a safer community, while decreasing operational costs.
