The New Brunswick RCMP has launched its new Online Crime Reporting (OCR) website:
    https://ocre-sielc.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/en
    Types of crime that can be reported using this tool are mischief/damage to property <$5,000, theft <$5,000 (incl. theft of a bicycle and theft from a vehicle <$5,000), and lost property. This tool can take the place of having to phone the RCMP non-emergency line (1-888-506-RCMP) or visiting a detachment. At the end of filing a report using OCR, you will receive an e-mail confirmation with an incident number and a report, which can be used for insurance purposes.
    However, if an incident is still in progress or is an emergency, please call 911.
