EPF operational as of February 12 across the entire territory

Feb 6, 2026

Effective February 12, 2026, the Edmundston Police Force will officially begin operating in sectors annexed to the Municipality in 2023.

These changes are part of the local governance reform that led to the amalgamation of the Village of Rivière-Verte, the former Local Service Districts (LSDs) of Saint-Jacques and Saint-Joseph into the municipal boundaries of Edmundston, ensuring that all citizens benefit from uniform public safety services.

Residents and businesses in these areas will now have access to all Edmundston Police Force services, including emergency response, patrols, investigations, and community policing.

- Emergencies: Call 911

- Information and non-urgent matters: Call 506-739-2100

- Criminal record checks:

Citizens of the Municipality of Edmundston

Citizens living outside the city limits of Edmundston

The public can also visit the Edmundston Police Station, located at 15 de l’Église Street, for information or assistance.

While the Edmundston Police Force is now responsible for routine policing duties in these areas, collaboration with the New Brunswick RCMP will continue through specialized units ensuring public safety.

The Edmundston Police Force will continue to work to ensure the municipality stays open and inclusive; sustainable and prosperous, while remaining safe. The EPF will continue to collaborate with residents and local organizations. We rely on the support, commitment, and vigilance of our partners, and the public, to continue ensuring everyone’s safety.
