Squamish RCMP detachment temporary closure begins January 16

January 12, 2023

Interim services available at Municipal Hall during renovations

The Squamish RCMP detachment will be closed for renovations beginning January 16. Front counter improvements are underway in an effort to better assist and meet the needs of the growing community. Interim services for ticket payments or police information check (payments) will be available at Municipal Hall to ensure continuity of services, and the RCMP non-emergency phone lines will continue to operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week throughout the closure.

“An expanded front counter will allow Squamish RCMP to meet community public safety needs while creating more administrative workspaces within the detachment to satisfy increased demand,” says District of Squamish Director of Public Safety Megan Latimer. “The renovations will also feature design and materials upgrades that offer risk-reduction benefits for front counter staff.”

Once complete, the existing front counter will be expanded into the large lobby and include four kiosks to offer RCMP and Bylaw Enforcement Client Services. The $155,000 project is being funded by the District of Squamish to enhance public services while minimizing risk to front desk staff. The duration of the closure is anticipated to be approximately five to six weeks.

Interim Services Available at Municipal Hall

Payments for Bylaw tickets or Police Information Checks may be made at Municipal Hall during regular hours of operation while renovations are underway. Municipal Hall front counter service is available Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at 37955 Second Avenue.
