Coronavirus: Winnipeg police headquarters set to reopen for public walk-ins

The Winnipeg Police Service (WPS) says it will be reopening its Headquarters Service Centre at 245 Smith St. Monday, June 22.

All of the city’s police stations closed to walk-ins in mid-March as the province braced for COVID-19.

Health guidelines, including physical distancing and capacity limits, will be in place when the doors reopen, and the force says to expect some delays.

Anyone experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, or those required to self-isolate, are asked to stay clear of the facility.
