Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) (NB)

Districts

The RCMP in New Brunswick is J Division of the national force and is headquartered at Fredericton. The RCMP is the provincial police force for New Brunswick under a contract with the provincial government, as is the case in seven other provinces. There are 12 districts in the province, which have names as well as numbers.

Radio Network

The RCMP in New Brunswick uses a 155 MHz conventional VHF system. The same freq is in use in differents geographical locations, however with a different tone. This allows the use of one freq more then one time. So it's important that when you program your scanner for the RCMP in NB, to program the tone with along with it's freq. For exemple, the freq 155.7000 is used by 6 different locations in the province. The following location uses the 155.7000 freq but with a different tone : Coburn has a tone of 114.8, Doakville has a tone of 141.3, Riceville of 131.8 and so on.

Freqs from the same district are sometime simulcast and/or link via a UHF freq.

To see if freqs are simulcast or not in each district, go to : http://www.marscan.com/nbrcmp.htm, scroll halfway to the color table and look in the last column of the district.

Unit ID

Identification of vehicles follows substantially what was the normal practice across Canada in the provinces where the RCMP is the provincial police. The format is: number-letter-number

• The first number represents the district or area (1 to 11 are the districts, plus 12 for Codiac Regional. 20 indicates a province-wide or headquarters-based unit - 13, 14, and 15 have also been heard and are presumed to be regional units of various types) [In April 2012 highway units with a 30 prefix were seen].

• The letter indicates usage:

       A = general duties vehicle 
       B = has been rarely seen, in the past, with unknown meaning (see note below)
       C = Highway patrol  
       D = Detective unit
       E = special services such as Ident or dog unit
       P = specialized drug enforcement
       R = Reserve (First Nations) detachment [this designator may be obsolete]
       T = Technical and special support. 
       V = unknown meaning 
       Others may also be in use. 

• The trailing number is the specific vehicle of that category.
