Problems with 911

Issues with 911 are a touchy subject. For the sake of your safety here are some important ways to make sure any calls made to 911 go well.

Workflow of a typical 911 call regarding a property crime

What happens with calls to 911

75% of all crimes are reported to the RCMP after the fact. This was according to an RCMP Superintendent in Alberta in Aug 2020.  Plus, 911 calls can not receive video or images.

The data shows that the majority of homes and businesses are not able to report to the police until hours after the fact.  Yet the technology to enable instant reporting is low cost and widely available

Even on Lightcatch 83% of all theft related alerts were over 1 hour after the crime.  The average was over 12 hrs late.  This was between Nov 2020 to Jan 2021.
