The Royal Canadian Mounted Police are the primary police agency for the Rural Municipality of Cornwallis.
The municipality employs a Municipal Constable with duties to enforce municipal by-laws (Noise By-Law, Animal Control By-Law) and Provincial Statutes (Highway Traffic Act, Liquor Control Act, Off Road Vehicle Act et’ al) to name a few. The Municipal Constable can be reached either by phone at (204) 724-7999 or by email at darwin@gov.cornwallis.mb.ca.
EMERGENCY TELPHONE NUMBERS are to be used ONLY for Emergency Situations. The 911 Centre has access to a translation service.
Emergency Operators have been trained in Emergency Medical Dispatch and Fire Priority Dispatch. They will ask a series of questions as well as tell you what to do until help arrives.
FIRE & AMBULANCE – 911
Six Things to Tell the Operator When you Need Help:
- Who you need – Police, Fire or Ambulance
- Where you need the help (your address)
- What is happening now
- How did it happen
- When did it happen
- Your name
Helpful Hints:
- Teach everyone in your family how to make emergency calls.
- If you accidentally call 911, stay on the line so the operator knows that help is not needed; otherwise, the operator will notify the Police to investigate.

- The 911 number
- Your civic address
