NRPS Wants Traffic Complaints

The Niagara Regional Police Service has set up a hotline which allows people to provide information on traffic safety issues.  The hotline lets the public leave information about areas where there are road safety concerns such as speeding or other Highway Traffic Act violations where a greater police presence is required. This program doesn't replace existing ways of dealing with collisions and other traffic issues, but serves as an additional way of reporting problems you may have seen or become aware of.  By the public and police working together, the Niagara Region becomes a safer place for everyone.

To use the NRPS traffic hotline, call 289-248-1060.

You can also send traffic complaints by email by using our Online Traffic Complaints Form.
