York Regional Police wants to teach you how to use its new community safety portal to help address crime in your area.
They are offering training sessions to help residents navigate the information in the online portal with ease.
"We're inviting you to join members of the Business Intelligence and Data Analytics Unit for a Level 1 training session on the Community Safety Data Portal. Training will cover the standard functionality of all applications within the portal," YRP said in the event description.
Those taking part in the training will learn how to submit tips and upload digital evidence to the portal, helping with investigations in their area.
You will also learn how to view and track crime and road safety trends in your neighbourhood.

The organization launched the portal earlier in November.
