Inuvik Detachment is responsible for providing police coverage to the satellite Detachment at Paulatuk. Inuvik Detachment is also responsible for providing relief duty coverage to several Detachments in the area. Participation in community events and activities is encouraged. Members posted to Inuvik will be supplied housing from the Public Works housing pool with two Force owned dwellings on the Detachment grounds. Rent is deducted from your pay and varies depending on the size and type of dwelling occupied.
Most members occupy single family dwellings which are kept in good condition.
As Inuvik is on the road system members are responsible for their own furnishings and some major appliances. Although we enjoy very nice summers, winter weather is very cold. Good quality winter clothing is a must for every family member. For good advice in this area members are encouraged to contact the Detachment for pertinent information prior to re-location. Northern issue kit should be ordered in advance of your of your transfer so supplies will be available upon arrival.
