The Manitoba RCMP has implemented numerous safety precautions throughout detachments across the province, including physical barriers, increased hand-washing stations, and requiring that when possible, officers wear masks when interacting with the public.
To limit contact with police personnel, the public is encouraged to call their local detachment with questions and to only attend a detachment when it is necessary.
