This sort of specialisation seems a bit odd to me as #Edmonton is a physically large city with inadequate and/or infrequent #PublicTransit for many Point A to Point B trips and not everyone has a vehicle or can afford taxis to far-flung locations.
It would seem more sensible to me to allow all #PoliceStations to deal with all reports, but I never, EVER imagined that NONE of them deal with ANY reports -- excepting the one that handles collisions.

I discovered this by calling to find out where to take someone who wished to report a #crime.
Because the incident had already happened (not ongoing), I did not call #911. Instead, I called the #police non-emergency line.
When I got through to a person, they said no staff at #PoliceStations can take a complaint. Only #PatrolOfficers can do that.
I didn't think to ask why we have police stations in #Edmonton if they can't serve the public on-site, but it does seem odd.

The long-awaited move comes as gangs continue to terrorize the capital of #PortAuPrince, opening fire in once peaceful neighborhoods and using heavy machinery to demolish several #PoliceStations and #prisons.
