More and more Calgarians are turning to their computers to report crimes.
In the past year, police have seen a 30 per cent spike in online crime reports in the city.
According to the Calgary Sun, nearly 13,000 statements flooded in last year; that's up from 8,400 in the first year of the system.
Police say they're pleased to hear the new process seems to be working, adding - it allows officers to focus on problem areas in Calgary.
