Members stationed at Tuktoyaktuk are responsible only for policing the community itself, however, occasionally members are called to do relief duties at other Northern posts for brief periods of time. Patrols of the community are conducted by foot, truck, ATV, snowmobile or boat. Members and their families also use these modes of transportation to get around the community when they are not being used to conduct police work. There are five detached three bedroom homes available on the RCMP grounds located at the point. Houses come equipped with basic living room, bedroom, and dining room furniture, freezer and washer and dryer.
Several houses have a kennel, or dog run outside.
Animals must be contained or chained as any loose dogs are shot due to the large rabies problem. Your animals should have all their shots with special attention paid to Parvovirus which is prevalent up here. At present there is a gazebo that is screened in for the summer months as well as space in the garage for a shop or wood working area. There is daily jet service from Edmonton to Inuvik via Air Canada and Canadian Airlines. Aklak Air and Arctic Wings air plane services fly from Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk daily depending on weather conditions.
