Reporting Crime

Tips to avoid misdialing 9-1-1

Can Coquitlam RCMP take crime reports from people who don't speak English?

Know someone who doesn’t speak English fluently? Share these two simple tips with them to help them in case they are ever in need of emergency services:

  1. Encourage them to learn the English word for the language they do speak (i.e., learn to say "Spanish" instead of "Espanol").
  2. Teach them the English words for "police", "fire" and "ambulance". Knowing those three words in English will help speed up the process of finding an interpreter and getting the help they need.
