Wednesday, JANUARY 4th, 2017 PUBLIC ADVISORY The Winnipeg Police Service would like to remind motorists to be mindful when leaving their running vehicles unattended. Over 140 vehicle thefts were reported in December and a large portion of those thefts are attributed to drivers leaving vehicles unattended while they are warming up.  As well, each year a number of vehicles are stolen in Winnipeg as a result of spare keys left within the passenger compartment of the vehicle (in the glove box, under the floor mat, etc.) With the current forecast for extremely cold tempertures vehicle owners are strongly encouraged to protect their keys. Remember when you leave, take your keys.

News Release - Winnipeg Police Service

Wednesday, January 4, 2017  Homicide Investigation – C17-2092 On January 3, 2017, at approximately 9:55 p.m., Winnipeg Police responded to a report of gunshots heard in the vicinity of Thames Avenue and Watt Street.     Responding officers located an adult male lying in the roadway. Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service transported the victim to the hospital where he was pronounced deceased.     This investigation is continuing by members of the Homicide Unit. Anyone with information that may assist investigators is asked to call 204-986-6508 or Crime Stoppers at 204-786-TIPS (8477).     Continued Enhancements of the Citizen Online Police Reporting System In October 2012, the Winnipeg Police Service launched the Citizen Online Police Reporting System, an online reporting system that allowed citizens to electronically report non-violent incidents where there are no suspects.   This initiative was part of the Service's Strategic Plan to improve public access to police processes through technological and electronic enhancements and has proven to a be popular reporting option. Today, we are announcing the next phase of improvements to our Citizen Online Police Reporting System.  Citizens can now make reports involving non-urgent traffic or manner of driving complaints.  Some examples of these complaints may include stop sign or red light infractions, excessive speed, aggressive or careless driving, speeding in school zones or passing a stopped school bus with its lights flashing. Incidents involving impaired drivers, motor vehicle collisions or events involving immediate concern for public safety cannot be reported online. We ask citizens to call 911 or non-emergency in these cases. A soft launch of this upgrade was initiated over the past week to ensure our technological changes functioned properly.  Effective today, citizens can fully use our Citizen Online Police Reporting System and the following incident types can be reported online:    - Break & Enter Into Outbuildings    - Damage to Property    - Damage to a Vehicle    - Lost Property    - Theft (including Shoplifting & Gas Drive Offs)    - Theft from a Vehicle    - Traffic Complaint The Citizen Online Police Reporting System eases the amount of time victims of crime spend reporting incidents.  The system also provides the Service with better data for crime analysis and deployment of resources and enables better management of call volumes through the Service's Communications Centre.   Earlier in 2016, in an effort to continuously improve the service provided to the citizens and businesses of Winnipeg, the Winnipeg Police Service announced a number of ongoing improvements to the Citizen Online Police Reporting System; In July 2016, we announced an improvement where citizens and business community partners could report incidents online and take any physical and video evidence to the closest police service centre. In September 2016, we expanded the system to allow for the reporting of break and enter to outbuildings, specifically detached garages or sheds.  With these improvements, the Winnipeg Police Service has received more than 16,000 online reports in 2016, an increase of 38% from 2015.  Online reporting does not replace traditional reporting. It is simply an enhancement providing an alternative for citizens and businesses.     For further information contact either:  Constable Jason Michalyshen, Public Information Officer  Constable Rob Carver, Public Information Officer  Kelly Dehn, Manager of Public Affairs    Phone: (204) 986-3061 | Fax: (204) 986-3267 | Email: WPS-PIO@Winnipeg.ca Share this mailing with your social network by clicking on the appropriate link:       Related Winnipeg Police Service Report a Crime Online Crime Stoppers CrimeStat Unsubscribe If you do not want to receive these emails anymore, unsubscribe.    Please do not reply to this email.

The Declared Snow Route Parking Ban extends the Annual Snow Route Parking Ban by two hours, prohibiting parking on any designated snow route between midnight and 7:00 a.m. Due to further accumulations of snow combined with high winds, City crews are continuing to sand and plow main routes, bus routes and collector streets today. This evening, the snow clearing operation will be expanded to utilize motor graders and front-end loaders to improve the overall condition of the Priority 1 and Priority 2 street network. Sidewalks on main routes and active transportation paths adjacent to main routes are also being cleared until completed. Back lane clearing will start Wednesday morning at 7:00 a.m. and will continue until completed. Crews are continuing with the major snow hauling operation on main routes to improve snow storage capacity on the boulevard, as well as with high-pile relocation to improve sightlines at intersections. Avoid a ticket and tow Vehicles parked in violation of the Declared Snow Route Parking Ban may receive a $100 ticket ($50 if paid early), and may be towed to the towing company's compound. The Declared Snow Route Parking Ban will be in place until snow clearing is completed and the public will be notified when the ban is lifted.
