A COMMUNITY INITIATIVE

Small observations.
A clearer picture.

Halifax Regional Police (HRP), 311, and Mainline Needle Exchange each log reports separately. Nothing connects them. This community log fills that gap, so patterns don't get lost between departments. Entries go to HRP's Crime Analysis team weekly.

Not sure what to report? If you're asking, the answer is yes.

In an emergency, call 911. This log isn't monitored in real time and isn't reported to police or any authority as it comes in.
