Effective immediately, Alberta RCMP detachments will be modifying service delivery at front counters and restricting access to public spaces within RCMP facilities.
All non-essential front counter services have been suspended in order to prioritize essential policing services and to reduce unnecessary contact with personnel.
That means no Criminal Record Checks or non-urgent fingerprinting will go ahead for now. Fingerprinting for Criminal Record Checks will only be done in exceptional circumstances.
鈥淎 number of changes have been put in place to protect the health of our employees and the public," said Deputy Commissioner Curtis Zablocki, Commanding Officer of the Alberta RCMP.
These decisions were made to ensure that there were no impacts to essential services, keeping our communities safe."
Before going to a detachment, call their administrative line to see which services are available.
If you can be helped over the phone, an employee or officer will do so. If your request requires personal contact with an officer, that decision will be made over the phone.
鈥淎s Alberta's provincial police service, we have sound business continuity plans in place to ensure Albertans can continue to count on us every day, including during times of public health emergencies," said Zablocki.
Call the Jasper detachment on 780 852 4848. Dial 911 only in an emergency.
