Given that the Salmo area has a fairly small population, this is a small detachment of only a few officers. The detachment is responsible for keeping the peace in Salmo, Ymir, Park Siding and Erie, and shares responsibility for Fruitvale with the Trail detachment, which is 38 km to the south west.
Prior to 1950, policing in BC was undertaken by the British Columbia Provincial Police. This police force was absorbed by the RCMP in 1950.
The RCMP is a nation wide force and handles policing in all provinces and territories, except Ontario and Quebec, each of which have their own Provincial Police Forces. Larger cities, however, have independent city police forces.

Visit Instructions:
To log a visit, you must post a photo of you in front of the building described, with your GPS in the photo. No drive by photos.
I have had NO problems with taking photos of Police stations but please respect the fact that some services may be nervous about having their photo taken and inquire as to why... I have found that once things are explained they are more than happy to let me photograph the building, crest, chief... (they are people too!)
