The Yellowknife RCMP and Northwest Territories RCMP are announcing a temporary reduction in administrative service hours at the Yellowknife Detachment.

Due to a structural integrity issue with the main water pipe system in the Henry Larsen Building, major repairs will be taking place in the building.

This will affect the administrative service hours for Yellowknife Detachment. The front counter will remain open from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The fingerprinting and criminal records check services have been cancelled for this week.

Our Yellowknife Detachment front line policing and investigative services and our Operational Communications Centre (OCC) continue to be operational and there will be no change to service levels due to the building repairs, the RCMP said.

“We have contingency plans in place, and it will be business as usual”  Staff Sergeant Yannick Hamel, Operations Manager, Yellowknife RCMP said.
