RCMP officers posted to Enterprise and Yellowknife checkpoints, patrol flights out of Fort Smith delayed due to smoke

RCMP officers have been posted to the Department of Infrastructure checkpoints outside Enterprise and Yellowknife, to assist with checkpoint maintenance and peacekeeping. 

Overnight, Yellowknife RCMP continued to receive little calls for service, while police continue patrols around the Capital. 

Reports of bears in the community continued yesterday; however, the NWT RCMP reported no sightings last night. 

In Hay River, there were zero service calls and RCMP officers continued regular patrols of the town and KFN.

Officers from other detachments have been sent to Hay River to assist checkpoints in Enterprise and to ensure the Hay River Detachment has sufficient resources to respond to potential calls for service.   

A planned patrol of Fort Smith was cancelled yesterday due to reduced visibility from smoke and as a result, the RCMP aircraft was unable to land. 

A planned flight scheduled to take off this morning has been delayed due to continued smoky conditions.
