Yellowknife, Northwest Territories

News release

With many of the Northwest Territories communities experiencing outbreaks and different levels of public orders announced by the Office of the Chief Public Health Officer (OCPHO) Northwest Territories RCMP reminds the public that policing operations continue.

Police services remain intact with 24-7-365 availability across the Northwest Territories.

If a person requires police services, CALL your local detachment 1111 number or 911. NT RCMP will respond as appropriate.

Members responding to calls for emergency services may be wearing different levels of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) depending on the situation and the information obtained during the call for service. Please follow the instructions of the officers and take steps to preserve your personal safety by following the directions and guidance provided by the OCPHO.

We want to remind you that due to the pandemic, police are using additional COVID-19 pre-screening questions in our Operational Communications Centre (OCC) to better prepare for a COVID-19 related response.

We are aware of the continued challenges we all face as the pandemic stretches out to another fall/winter season. These times may be more difficult for some. If you, your loved ones or colleagues, are feeling overwhelmed, please reach out to the support services available in your community.

NT RCMP would like to remind the public that the RCMP, throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, immediately implemented a multi-layered approach to services at detachments. Please check with your local detachment, for front counter services availability or hours.

Superintendent Christie, Officer in Charge Criminal Operations NT RCMP states "We have been adapting to the circumstances and health orders related to COVID-19 for the past 18 months in a multi-layered approach. We have continued, throughout, to respond to emergency calls for service 24/7 in the safest manner. Please continue to look out for each other".
