The building in which the RCMP are housed was expanded and renovated in 1991, with an official opening taking place on September 27th of that year. This is a large detachment serving a population of nearly 60,000 in the Greater Vernon area. The detachment operates an active Crimestopper program, which relies on phoned in tips (1-800 222 TIPS) on various types of crime.
In conjunction with the main detachment, there is also a Community Policing Office in Vernon, manned by volunteers, which is the flagship operation of the Safe Communities Unit.
Opening its doors in November 1999 the volunteer staffed storefront houses information on over 50 crime reduction/prevention programs and initiatives and also offers a broad spectrum of information around community based programs, projects and initiatives.
Under the direction of the Community Policing Office Coordinator, the CPO allows for community members to initiate non or low priority reports to the RCMP, refers clients to available resources, services and programs within the community, provides information regarding current crime reduction/prevention programs and initiatives which empower individuals and neighborhoods to feel and be safe.

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!)
