To do our part for the health and safety of our citizens and our employees, we have adjusted our service delivery to protect the wellbeing of the community and control the spread of COVID-19.

  • To limit direct in-person contact, we will process calls for service over the telephone wherever possible.Officers will continue to respond in person to emergency situations which pose an immediate risk to public safety.
  • You will see officers wearing personal protective equipment, such as masks and gloves, and practicing all reasonable precautions where appropriate, including physical distance, when interacting with members of the public.
  • When you call for police assistance, and before an officer is sent to respond to your location, you will be asked questions about any symptoms or exposure to COVID-19, so that officers interacting with you can prepare for protection.

All emergency services remain fully functional and we have contingency plans in place to address any impacts to our staffing levels and ensure continued police service. 

For non-emergency police assistance, please call 902-563-5151. In an emergency, always dial 9-1-1.
