RCMP: Remember To Use 10-Digit Number Instead Of 911

With no local three-digit nine-one-one service available here in Thompson, the RCMP want to remind everyone of how they can get a hold emergency services should they be needed. 

 

Constable Sandy Deibert, from the Thompson RCMP detachment, said that the emergency number here in Thompson for police is 677-6911. The call will go to the RCMP call centre in Winnipeg, and officers will be dispatched.

 

Constable Deibert added that 204-677-6911 also serves as the after-hours numbers for the RCMP here in Thompson. 

 

Deibert emphasized that even if you’re placed on hold after calling 6911, you need to stay on the line. She said that if you hang up and call again, you’ll be placed at the back of the line despite the urgency of your situation.

 

She said that if you need police after hours in a non-urgent situation, you should call the same number and let the operator know that it isn’t an emergency. 

 

204-677-7911 is the emergency number for Thompson Fire and EMS.
