Ottawa launches text alert system for non-urgent police incidents starting Jan. 8, 2026.
Starting January 8, 2026, Ottawa police are rolling out a text message service for non-urgent calls, allowing residents to receive updates on incidents categorized as 3 or 4, such as property crimes or minor disturbances.
The “CommunityConnect” system sends automated texts with case numbers and alerts about delays, using the number 343-803-6032.
It does not cover emergencies like assaults or abductions.
After resolution, users get a link to a voluntary survey to evaluate their experience, with results used to improve service.
The initiative aims to boost transparency and trust, building on successful models in other North American cities.
