To report other crime types, call the non-emergency line at 780-423-4567 or #377 from a mobile or report in person at the nearest Police Station.

If you have difficulties while entering your report, please call the online reporting help line at 780-391-6001. Please note that this number is only available from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Next, fix the basic adhesive dash cam mount onto the exposed magnet on your headliner fabric with the dash cam’s mount’s adhesive. These magnets should be strong, so be cautious while handling them to avoid pinching your skin. Also make sure that the dash cam is securely attached to the magnets, and should hold firmly in place.

To get the top magnet in the interior of the frame of your vehicle, you’ll likely need to use a pry tool or similar item to wedge your way under the trim’s lip, starting from the rear of your vehicle, with the hatchback propped up. There are normally clasps in-place to hold the headliner in-place, which can be easily popped off with a bit of force.

Many of these coin-magnets will come an adhesive side, which can be used on the magnet going in the interor, used to fix it in-place and make sure it doesn't slide around inside.

Definition: Any sexual contact where consent is not given, consent is revoked, or you are unable to consent due to incapacitation. Examples: Touched in a sexual manner by a stranger (i.e. on a bus, in a pool), or by a known person (i.e. partner, co-worker), forced sexual intercourse or acts.

With this Magnet mounting style, you take 2, very strong coin-shaped magnets, installing one on each side of your headliner, with one going inside the vehicle's frame, and the other used as our mounting surface in the interior headliner. These magnets will adhere to each other, stuck through the fabric of your headliner.

This list is purely based off of our own findings and installations. Certain years may vary, and is certainly not all-encompassing for all models that magnet mounting would be applicable for.

Compared to installing a rear dash camera on sedans and coupes, having one for your hatchback, SUV, or any vehicle where the rear window moves is more complicated. In this article, we will show you an alternative to make your rear dash cam installation easier – through magnets!

Finally, now that our cameras are installed, and the wires are well-kept, it’s time to clean up the wires going to your front camera. You can use electrical tapes or cable clips to keep the cables bundled up, close them and put the cover back. We go more in-depth on the basics of rear camera installation.

If you have a traffic concern of a general nature (chronic speeding vehicles in a neighbourhood, ongoing stop sign violations etc.) please report these types of concerns by filling out the online form here.

Definition: Any category of crime that includes break and enters, damage to property, damage to vehicle, lost property, theft from vehicle under $5,000, or theft under $5,000. Examples: Detached garage door kicked in and tools, bikes, etc. may have been stolen. Leaving personal items in a restaurant; lost wallet or purse. Bike stolen out of your yard; or cell phone stolen from a locker.

Just make sure to mount the camera in a location where it will not move. For best results, check the live view of your rear dash cam straight on the smartphone app to determine if the rear dash cam angle covers well enough.

If you have a concern regarding a specific vehicle identified by a licence plate or driver and are willing to attend court in relation to charges, you must attend a Divisional police station to make a report and provide a statement.

Magnet mounting for rear dash cams is a method you can use to affix your dash cam to the headliner of your vehicle, instead of the vehicle’s window. Unlike typical adhesive or suction cup mounts, which rely on glue or suction to hold the dash cam in place, magnet mounts use two powerful magnets to create a new mounting location for the Dash Cam, attached to the fabric of your vehicle’s roof. This mounting style is ideal if you are unable to mount the camera directly on the windshield, normally due to a rear window that slides or can be popped open.

Magnet mounting is a viable option for many different SUVs and Hatchbacks, but there are certain vehicle models that do have issues that magnet mounting solves. The most common issue is having a rear window that opens, making it so mounting to the rear window is not possible. Here, we've compiled a list of some of the vehicles we magnet mount onto for our standard installations:

Of course, after the mounting and wiring, we want to test the rear dash cam to make sure it's working properly. Turn on the car engine and check if the dash cam turns on automatically. If it doesn't turn on, check the power connections and ensure the dash cam is properly mounted.

The effectiveness of this method will depend on the strength of your magnets, and is why strong magnets are recommended. Stacking additional magnets inside the vehicle's frame will result in stronger adhesion between the magnets.

And that’s how you install a rear dash camera using a magnetic mount. If you have other questions, feel free to contact our product experts and we’ll be happy to help! For more dash cam installation guides, visit our Dash Cam Installation Guide here.

Definition: A hate incident is a non-criminal action committed against a person or property, motivated in whole or in part by the suspect’s hate, bias or prejudice towards an identifiable group based on real or perceived colour, race, religion, national or ethnic origin, age, sex, sexual identity, gender identity or expression, mental or physical disability, or any other similar factor. Examples: Racial comments or slurs, offensive symbols.

Use the camera app's live-view to check the camera's viewing angle, ensuring it is properly lined-up with the angling lines.
