Richmond RCMP (City Centre Community Police Office) – Richmond, BC

Richmond RCMP City Centre Community Police Office

The City Centre Community Police Office (CPO) is a vital satellite location of the Richmond RCMP, strategically situated on Granville Avenue near the Minoru civic precinct. This office is designed to make police services more accessible to the residents and businesses of Richmond’s dense city center. Unlike the main detachment, this facility focuses heavily on crime prevention, community engagement, and volunteer-led initiatives.

Community Services

Staffed by a dedicated team of police officers, municipal employees, and trained volunteers, the City Centre CPO offers a friendly and approachable environment for non-emergency interactions. The office serves as a hub for the Community Policing model, bridging the gap between law enforcement and the public.

• Information & Advice: Residents can obtain information on crime prevention strategies, home security, and fraud awareness.
• Non-Emergency Reporting: The office accepts reports for minor crimes where there is no immediate danger, such as bicycle theft or graffiti.
• Volunteer Programs: This location coordinates local volunteer patrols, including the Foot Patrol and Bike Patrol programs, which act as extra eyes and ears for the police.

Strategic Location

Conveniently located near the Brighouse SkyTrain station and Richmond City Hall, this office allows officers to maintain a high-visibility presence in the downtown core. The Bike Squad often deploys from here to patrol local parks and shopping districts. ⚠️ Note: This office does not hold prisoners and operates during business hours only. For emergencies or in-progress crimes, the public must call 9-1-1 immediately.
