Waterloo Regional Police Facilities Remain Open during Provincial Shutdown

Waterloo Region, Ontario – Waterloo Regional Police facilities will remain open during the recent shutdown announced by the Province of Ontario on April 1, 2021.

The Province of Ontario announced an “emergency brake” province-wide shutdown that takes effect Saturday, April 3, 2021, at 12:01 a.m. 

To help slow the rate of COVID-19, the Waterloo Regional Police Service will continue to have modified operations across its facilities.

We remain committed to providing essential services throughout Waterloo Region. To maximize the service to citizens and ensure the health and safety of employees and the community, the Service has developed a recovery plan and implemented several health and safety measures.

• Visitors to WRPS facilities will continue to be screened prior to entry.
• Six feet markers have been placed on the floor to remind people to practice physical distancing.
• Hand sanitizer stations have been set up at main entrances to aid proper hand hygiene.
• To ensure physical distancing, limited entry has been imposed at some WRPS facilities.

• North, Central, and South Divisions remain open, but visitors will be buzzed in upon arrival.

We encourage everyone to continue to do their part to limit the spread of COVID-19. Citizens are reminded to only visit Service buildings if necessary, schedule appointments when requested/required and adhere to physical distancing guidelines.
