Recruits interested in Federal Policing career paths after Depot should not confuse these regional Federal Policing offices with the divisional detachments where most new constables begin general duty. Côte-Nord is a contact point for Federal Policing business in a large geographic area — not a typical posting description. Review RCMP recruitment for how entry-level postings work.
Reporting a crime to Côte-Nord Detachment
For non-emergency crime reports, call 418-962-2061 during office hours or attend the Sept-Îles office at 1501 Laure Boulevard West. The detachment lists crime reporting among its services. For crimes in progress or immediate danger, use 9-1-1 regardless of language preference — bilingual service is listed for this office, and emergency dispatch can arrange interpretation if needed.
