Codiac Regional RCMP Detachment

Overview

The Codiac Regional RCMP detachment, located at 520 Main Street, is the primary police authority for the Greater Moncton Area, serving the communities of Moncton, Dieppe, and Riverview. This unique policing model integrates the national Royal Canadian Mounted Police with municipal resources to provide dedicated local law enforcement 🚓. As one of the largest RCMP detachments in eastern Canada, it operates 24/7 to ensure public safety, though the front counter services have specific business hours.

Front Counter Services

The Main Street station offers a variety of non-emergency administrative services to the public during weekdays:

Criminal Record Checks: Processing employment and volunteer background checks for residents of the tri-community area.
Fingerprinting: Digital fingerprinting services are available, typically on Wednesdays by appointment only 👆.
Reporting Crime: Citizens can report non-emergency incidents (theft, vandalism, fraud) at the front desk.
Accident Reporting: Drivers can report motor vehicle collisions that meet the criteria for police documentation.

Emergency vs. Non-Emergency

It is crucial to distinguish when to visit. For emergencies (crimes in progress, immediate danger), always dial 9-1-1. This building is for administrative follow-up and non-urgent reports. The lobby is staffed by public service employees who can assist with general inquiries and police information checks. Visitors should be prepared to show valid government-issued identification for all service requests.
