Poste de police de Laval (Gendarmerie Est) – Laval, QC

Serving Eastern Laval

The Poste de police (Gendarmerie Est) of the Service de police de Laval, located at 3225 Boulevard Saint-Martin Est, acts as the primary operational hub for police services in the eastern sector of the city. This station covers a vast territory including the neighborhoods of Duvernay, Saint-Vincent-de-Paul, and Saint-François. As a critical component of Laval's public safety infrastructure, this facility houses patrol units that respond to 911 calls, conduct traffic enforcement, and engage in community policing initiatives. The building serves as a deployment point for officers and a point of contact for citizens residing in the eastern districts who require non-emergency police assistance.

Citizen Services

While emergency response is mobile, the station provides a physical location for various administrative and reporting needs:

• Reporting Crimes: Citizens can visit the counter to file reports for non-urgent crimes such as theft, vandalism, or fraud, provided there is no immediate danger.
• Safe Exchange Zone: The exterior parking lot often serves as a neutral meeting ground for internet purchase exchanges or child custody transfers, monitored by surveillance cameras to ensure safety.
• Information and Support: The front desk staff can provide information regarding municipal by-laws, direct citizens to appropriate victim support resources, or assist with traffic accident reports.

Patrol and Operations

The Gendarmerie Est is operational 24/7, with patrol cars constantly rotating through the sector. The officers based here are trained to handle a diverse range of situations, from domestic disputes to major traffic collisions on the nearby Highway 19 and Highway 440. The station also coordinates with specialized units such as the K-9 unit or investigations division when major incidents occur within its jurisdiction. By maintaining a strong local presence, the station aims to reduce response times and foster a sense of security in the rapidly growing eastern communities of Laval.
