In an effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19 amongst first responders and members of the community RCMP in Manitoba are asking the public to avoid going to detachments unless it is for an urgent matter.

If you have an emergency call 911 or your local emergency number.

For non-urgent matters RCMP are asking you call the detachment to speak with an officer.

For now if you need fingerprints for a background check you will be unable to get them until further notice.
