Downtown Red Deer RCMP detachment to introduce extended customer service hours

Aug 28, 2025 | 7:36 PM

The downtown Red Deer RCMP detachment will be offering extended customer service hours on Wednesdays as of Sept. 3.

This means on Wednesdays, they’ll be open from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., but on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, they’re open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. They’re closed on weekends and on statutory holidays.

Allan Gray, municipal enforcement supervisor said they’re offering extended hours to provide better customer service for in-person reporting of crimes and collisions, as well as picking up criminal record checks.

“While many of our services are available online, there are a few matters requiring in-person reporting,” Gray said.

In-person reporting is required for vehicle collisions involving an injury or if there appears to be $5,000 or more in damage. Police say if unsure whether the damage is $5,000 or more, you may get an estimate before reporting.
