Another step has been taken by Thunder Bay police to reduce the risk of COVID-19 spreading between officers and the public.
Police say standard practice has often been to send officers to a call when someone dials 911.
Now, when a call is made, dispatch will determine the severity of the call, and if someone is not in immediate danger or a suspect is not around, the Patrol Support Call Back unit will phone the caller back, and take a report over the phone.
You can call police at 684-1200, or go to their website, to report non-emergencies.
