If the event you wish to report occurred in a context of domestic violence or family violence, go to one of our points of service to file your complaint or call 819-246-0222 to have a police officer come to you.

When there is an intimate relationship, whether current or past, between the perpetrator of a criminal offence and the victim, the offence is deemed to have been committed in a domestic context. The concept of criminal domestic violence refers to the context within which the criminal action is perpetrated and the nature of the connection between the perpetrator and the victim.

The concept of criminal family violence refers to the context within which the criminal action is perpetrated and the nature of the connection between the perpetrator and the victim. When the person committing the criminal offence is a member of the victim's family, the infraction is deemed to have been committed in a context of family violence.

The noun "suspect" is used to designate the person who may have committed the offence or who gives cause for legitimate doubts about the facts or circumstances. That person may be identified by you or a third person or by any other means (e.g. video evidence). If the suspect in an offence is still on site, you cannot file a police report online, but must instead immediately call 9-1-1.
