Calgary 311

The 311 app allows you open requests for service, and the Calgary Police Service app allows you to report crimes and submit anonymous tips to Crime Stoppers.

Using the 311 Calgary mobile app to submit a service request is fast and easy. With the 311 Calgary mobile app, you:

• Have the option to attach a photo to your request;
• Can use your smartphone’s GPS function to allow the App to detect your location, or if you are reporting an issue from a different location, tap and drag the pin to the right location; and,
• Have the ability to track the status of your request using the auto generated service request (SR) number.
