The City of Pitt Meadows, British Columbia, has finished building its new standalone RCMP station as of March 2026. This project marks a major change for the community, which is moving away from a shared police service with Maple Ridge to have its own dedicated officers and facility.

The new station will be fully ready for work on April 1, 2026. It will be staffed by 24 full-time officers who are split into four separate shifts to provide constant coverage for the area. Each shift will include a supervisor and four officers to handle local calls and safety needs.

S/Sgt. Michelle Luca was chosen as the first commander for this local force in March 2025. The city started building the facility in November 2023 to help improve response times and give residents more direct access to police services within their own city limits.

Historically, the community was served by the Ridge Meadows RCMP, which combined resources for two different cities. This new building allows the local police to focus entirely on the specific needs of residents within Pitt Meadows.

The project was designed and overseen by KMBR Architects. This completion is the final step in a multi-year plan to create a more localized and responsive approach to public safety for the community.
