Barrie police are believed to be the third police force in the world and second in Canada to try this type of policing.

The pilot allows certain non-emergency calls for service to be addressed through a secure video chat with a police officer.

Police say this new model could greatly reduce the time it takes for an officer to respond to a call, save money on resources and free up officers to respond more emergent matters.
