The City of Pitt Meadows announced the substantial completion of the new autonomous RCMP detachment, marking a major milestone in the city’s transition to an independent RCMP model.

With construction now complete, the city will work closely with the Pitt Meadows RCMP as they move forward with detachment equipment, move-in and preparations for operational readiness. The current target operational date of the detachment is anticipated to be spring 2026.

The new 19,000 sq ft detachment, located at 12486 Harris Road, was designed to support autonomous RCMP operations and includes modern amenities, a dedicated ground-level volunteer/flex space and mass timber structural components in the lobby.

“Completing construction of the autonomous detachment is the result of years of careful planning, collaboration and community engagement,” says Chief Administrative Officer Mark Roberts. “This facility provides the foundation needed to support independent RCMP operations and reflects the City’s long-term commitment to effective governance, operational readiness and enhanced public safety for our residents.”

Kenaidan Contracting Ltd. was the general contractor and KMBR Architects Planners Inc was the lead architect.
