KR Public Update

The Ridge Meadows RCMP de-integration project remains on track, with both Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows preparing to launch independent police detachments by April 1st 2026. The Leadership teams from both municipalities continue to work closely together, with deintegration meetings held every two weeks.  In addition, both Police Services Managers of Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows meet frequently to discuss the changes and the establishment of operating procedures.  All meeting minutes are reported up to the CAO and the Lower Mainland District RCMP Office to provide a real-time overview of the project..

A review of jurisdictional boundaries and zone refinement is underway through the Geomatics IT team to ensure clear service delivery. The transition is progressing on schedule, with an administrative file structure and the development of Standard Operating Procedures currently being drafted for the new detachments. File and exhibit transfer processes have also been discussed, with records of decision pending signature by both jurisdictions.
