Halifax Regional Police Central Division Community Office – Halifax, NS

Police Community Services

Central Division Hub

The Halifax Regional Police (HRP) Central Division Community Office is located within the main Police Headquarters on Gottingen Street. While the headquarters serves as the administrative centre for the entire force, this specific community office functions as the direct interface between the police and the residents of the Halifax Peninsula. Staffed by Community Response Officers and administrative personnel, this office handles non-emergency reports and provides a range of administrative services to the public. It serves as a vital resource for citizens looking to report minor crimes, obtain information on crime prevention, or discuss neighbourhood safety concerns with local officers.

Public Counter Services

The front desk at this location offers several essential services during business hours:

• Criminal Record Checks: Processing applications for employment and volunteer background checks (Vulnerable Sector Checks).
• Collision Reporting: A designated centre for reporting motor vehicle accidents where damages exceed $2,000 or injuries occurred, which cannot be reported online.
• Ticket Withdrawals: Assisting with the administrative process for disputing or resolving certain summary offence tickets.

While the front desk operates during standard business hours, the building itself is accessible 24/7 for emergencies. However, for non-emergency inquiries, the public is encouraged to visit during the day or use the online reporting system.
