Be prepared to spend extra time waiting at the downtown Red Deer RCMP detachment front counter starting Monday, as the customer service counter will be under construction.
Additionally, there may be reduced parking availability and extra noise at the detachment.
To alleviate wait times, Red Deerians are reminded of a number of common detachment services that can be completed online or by phone.
The following crimes can be reported online, as long as the incident isn’t presently happening, there are no suspects, and wasn’t captured by surveillance or witnessed by an individual:
- Damage/mischief to property under $5,000
- Theft of bicycle under $5,000
- Theft under $5,000
- Theft from vehicle under $5,000
- Lost property under $5,000
Please note, if lost or stolen items involve personal identification, firearms, license plates, or medication, you should not report online. However, you can call the non-emergency line at 403-406-2200.
In addition to the list above, the non-emergency line (403-406-2200) can be used to report:
- Suspicious vehicles or people,
- Noise complaints
- Fraud
- Failure to remain at a collision with a suspect
- Theft involving personal identification, firearms, license plates or medication
Another common service that can be completed online is record checks. Unless a fingerprint-based criminal record check is required, most criminal record and vulnerable sector check applications can be submitted and paid online. To book a civil fingerprint appointment, please call the front counter at 403-406-2309.
In person reporting is required for vehicle collisions involving an injury, even a minor one, or if there appears to be $5,000 or more in damage. If unsure whether the damage is $5,000 or more, you may get an estimate before reporting.
The Red Deer RCMP’s customer service hours of operation are Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and is closed weekends and holidays.
