RCMP taking precautions due to COVID-19
Cranbrook RCMP is taking the following precautions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In order to protect the public, our volunteers and our employees, the Cranbrook RCMP is making the following changes in response to COVID-19.
All front counter services including but not limited to; Civil Fingerprinting Services, Criminal Record or Police Information checks and found property will not be conducted until further notice.
If you urgently need a Criminal Record or Police Information Check please contact our front counter at 250-489-3471 and they may be able to assist.
If you are exhibiting symptoms including fever, coughing and difficulty breathing, do not come to the detachment for any police services.
These changes are being taken as a preventative measure and do not affect 9-1-1 service or calls to our non-emergency police line 250-489-3471. Both of those services continue to be offered 24-hours a day, seven days a week.
Our priority continues to be community safety and security and we are taking these measures to help ensure our core policing duties will not be impacted. We appreciate your continued support and understanding.
We would also like to remind the public that you can report using the Online Crime Reporting Tool. To make a report, please go to: www.bc.rcmp.ca/cranbrook/report .
You can also find the link to report crime on the City of Cranbrook Website, www.cranbrook.ca, under “Residents.”
