BC crime data can be accessed online

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 14 Sep, 2023 10:12 AM

Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam residents can now access police data about crime in their cities online.

The Coquitlam R-C-M-P says it has launched its new property crime dashboard, allowing members of the public to explore crimes reported in the cities on an interactive map tool.

Mounties say the dashboard can be accessed through the Coquitlam R-C-M-P detachment's website, and the mapping tool includes two years of past crime data, including auto thefts and break and enters.

Mounties say the new dashboard is meant to help residents stay aware and be informed about crimes happening in their neighbourhoods.
