Internet Crime Unit

The Internet Crime Enforcement (ICE) Unit investigates web-based crimes including Fraud, threats, harassment, internet child luring, and possession/distribution of child pornography. The duties associated with investigating these types of crimes may include search warrants and forensic examination of computers and other storage devices seized by police that could contain evidence of a crime.

The ICE Unite is also responsible for promoting internet safety through presentations to community groups, schools and universities. 

Here are some things to remember when browsing the web:

  • Never give out any personal information.
  • Never plan to meet someone alone who you have only spoken to on the internet.
  • Create a password for your computer /accounts that is hard to guess and change it often.
  • Monitor your credit card bills for any unanticipated purchases that have been made online.
  • Install an anti-virus program and keep it up to date.
  • Scan all received files with an up to date virus scanner before opening them.

The ICE Unit works to protect our community from internet crime. If you are the victim of any web-based crime, please report it to police at 563-5151 or through Canada’s National Reporting website www.cybertip.ca.
