Reporting Public Safety Concerns

Canadian Firearms Program

If your concern is urgent or life threatening, call 911 or your local Police emergency number.

If you have a public safety concern related to firearms that is not urgent or immediately life threatening, call our toll-free number: 1 800 731-4000.

Please note: This is not an emergency line, calls received on this line are only answered during Chief Firearm Officer’s regular business hours, and calling this number will not dispatch police assistance.

Public safety calls are routed to provincial Chief Firearms Officers, who will take appropriate action. For example, you can call this number if you believe a person who owns firearms could be dangerous to himself or herself or to others. You can also call this number if you know of an individual who has a firearms licence or who has applied for a firearms licence and have a valid reason why this person should not have such a licence.
