Lethbridge Police Service is adjusting its operations in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, as they work to prevent the spread of the virus and protect the health and safety of its employees and the public.

Public access to the Collision Reporting Centre is closed. The CRC is now accepting reports over the phone. To report a collision where the combined damages exceed $2,000 call 403-330-5191. For injury collisions call 403-328-4444.
Frontline officers will continue to respond to all emergency and priority calls. Call 911 for emergencies and crimes in progress.
All non-emergency calls where an officer is not immediately required to attend in person will be managed over the phone. Call 403-328-4444 to report non-emergencies.
For lost property, theft under $5,000, theft from a vehicle under $5,000, mischief or damage to a property or vehicle under $5,000, or for information, online reporting at lethbridgepolice.ca/online-reporting should be used.
The safety of the community remains paramount and there will be no impact to emergency call response.
