Cornwall Detachment, formerly known as the Central St. Lawrence Valley Detachment, is comprised of 35 members and 5 civilian staff. It serves Eastern Ontario from town of Cardinal to the Quebec border. It is bordered to the north by the Ottawa River and to the south by the St. Lawrence River. The detachment area covers the Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry; and Prescott and Russell, excluding the township of Russell which is part of the National Capital Region.

Mandate

The mandate of Cornwall Detachment is the enforcement of Federal Statutes and the Criminal Code. The enforcement units are all focused on the RCMP priorities of disrupting organized crime and terrorist activities and are divided as follows:

• Customs and Excise Section
• Federal Enforcement Section
• Criminal Intelligence Section: Cornwall has an Integrated unit which includes CBSA, CCPS, OPP, NYSP, USBP and ICE. Our role is to coordinate our efforts to make sure all the units are intelligence led.
  
• Youth and Community Service Officer: Mandate is geared toward crime reduction. This section works hand in hand with numerous community partners to plan and implement many varied community activities for local youths. These programs include, Racing Against Drugs (link) and Safe Grad.

Because of our proximity to the USA, Border Integrity is a major component of our duties. Given that the border in our Detachment area is located entirely within the confines of the St. Lawrence River, marine patrols are common place. In many cases our marine patrols are conducted in concert with our partners. The most recent example of this was in 2007 for Project ShipRider where RCMP members and United Stated Coast Guard personnel were cross-trained and cross-designated. We then conducted joint patrols for a two month period on both sides of the border.

RCMP Presence in the Region

Members of Cornwall Detachment participate in various community events and regularly work along side law enforcement partners in the region. Some of these partners include, Canada Border Services Agency, Cornwall Community Police Service, Ontario Provincial Police, Revenue Canada, Ontario Ministry of Revenue, Akwesasne Mohawk Police Service, United States Homeland Security, United States Customs, United States Border Patrol, Tribal Police and New York State Police.

One popular community event is Christmas caroling every year at senior residences in the City of Cornwall and on the Akwesasne Mohawk Territory.
