The approximately 83,000 residents of the Cowichan Valley and the surrounding areas are served by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) North Cowichan / Duncan Detachment.

Today, the detachment is home to a workforce of 89: 62 RCMP members (32 municipal members, 26 provincial members, and 4 indigenous policing members), 23 support staff (municipal employees and public service employees), 3 victim services personnel and 1 volunteer Chaplin.

Other services include a satellite Indigenous Policing Office at 180 Central Rd, Duncan [Village Green], and three Community Policing Offices.  One at South Cowichan Community Policing Office, and two through  Cowichan Community Policing & Engagement Society covering, North Cowichan/Duncan area and Cowichan Bay. Community Policing has trained volunteers to provide a range of programs and services such as, Block Watch, Friendly Phone Calls, Speed Watch, Senior Resources, and Positive Tickets.Police Information Checks

Police Information Checks are available and accepted at the Front Counter of the North Cowichan/Duncan detachment – British Columbia (rcmp-grc.gc.ca)  and are usually processed within two weeks. There are circumstances where your Police Information Check may take much longer, example, if fingerprints are required and need to be submitted to Ottawa for confirmation, or if we need to contact another police agency for information.

If you are a volunteer for an organization that requires a Police Information Check, the fee will be waived. In order to have this fee waived, you will be required to present a letter from the organization confirming your volunteer status. Please contact us if you need more information.

Two pieces of government issued ID are required, one showing a current North Cowichan / Duncan address.
