LETHBRIDGE, AB – Alberta RCMP is taking actions to limit contact between the public and their officers and staff.

“A number of changes have been put in place to protect the health of our employees and the public. These decisions were made to ensure that there were no impacts to essential services, keeping our communities safe,” said Deputy Commissioner Curtis Zablocki, Commanding Officer of the Alberta RCMP.

Some of the new measures announced include:

Detachments will suspend all non-critical front counter services
Fingerprinting will only be done in exceptional circumstances. Non-urgent fingerprinting and Criminal Record Checks will resume at a later date
Phone your local detachment before attending in person. A directory is available here.
As usual, please only phone 911 in an emergency
