The first thing one notices about this detachment is the landscaping. It has to have the nicest landscaping we've seen at a police station in this neck of the woods. As part of the landscaping there is a small plaza in front of the building with a fountain and a wall of honor, which honors several past members of the Kamloops RCMP.

The detachment is a large one, manned by 118 regular members and 60 civilian staff. In addition to the city of Kamloops, they are charged with patrolling not only their section of the Trans Canada Highway, but several other minor highways and byways in the area as well.
Below is more detail on the detachment.
About Kamloops RCMP
The Kamloops City RCMP Detachment is one of the largest in the province of British Columbia, comprised of 118 regular members and supported by 60 civilian staff. It is located in the B.C. RCMP’s Southeast District and its Officer in Charge is Superintendent Brad Mueller.

The detachment’s main goal is to make Kamloops a safer city for its residents. That goal is being achieved through a strong commitment to reducing crime and providing the highest quality of policing services to Kamloops.

The detachment is very pro-active in helping residents protect themselves from being victimized by crime. It operates many Crime Prevention Programs, a number of which are focused on protecting businesses, seniors and youth. Volunteer programs are a large part of the prevention initiatives, that wouldn’t be nearly as successful without the countless hours put in by these outstanding citizens.

Kamloops RCMP is committed to fighting organized crime. This priority is put into action at the education, intelligence, and enforcement levels.

Youth programs are another priority for the Kamloops RCMP. Working in partnership with the Kamloops School District and its schools, the Kamloops RCMP is helping today’s youth prepare to be tomorrow’s leaders.

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!)
