Due to “ongoing labour disruptions,” the front counter of the Whitehorse RCMP detachment on Fourth Avenue has temporarily changed its hours until further notice.

In-person services will continue to be offered from 1-4 p.m. Mondays.

“During this time, there may be a delay in processing of criminal record check requests,” police said today.

“There will be no disruption in policing services. Whitehorse RCMP officers are still available to respond to calls for service/assistance to the public.

“The Whitehorse RCMP detachment front door remains open to access a phone to call for RCMP assistance or pick up criminal record check forms.”

A phone in the lobby automatically directs visitors to the non-emergency line (667-5555), where their reports will be taken.

To report an incident that requires urgent/emergency attendance by police, call 911.

To report a non-urgent matter to the police, call 667-5555.

Non-urgent matters or crimes not in progress (such as property offences) can be reported to police through the Online Crime Reporting Tool.

If you require services such as criminal record checks, you can submit completed criminal record check forms to whitehorsefrontdesk@rcmp-grc.gc.ca or visit the detachment during the hours noted above.

“Thank you to all Whitehorse residents and visitors for your patience during the temporary reduction in service,” police said.
