We're dedicated to relentlessly pursuing unsolved crimes in our community, whether they happened in the last few years or many years ago. We have resources dedicated to major unsolved crimes (homicides and missing persons) and put a significant amount of investigative effort into them. New technology continues to lead to advancements in forensic science, particularly with respect to DNA. Today’s crime labs are far more advanced which allows investigators to revisit how crime scenes were processed. These advancements also provide investigators with enhanced ability to analyze archived data such as video surveillance, camera and telephone records. One of the main obstacles we face in unsolved homicides is a lack of cooperation from people who know what happened. We issue media releases on the anniversary of an unsolved major crime in the hope that a witness will break the code of silence and come forward to police directly or through the Provincial Rewards program to help further the police investigation.
