Annapolis Royal Police Department

Just a reminder that in Annapolis County the walking trails and woods remain closed because of the wild fires.
Please respect our land and safety by staying off the trails until it is deemed safe to use.
The police have received calls of people on the trails and this could lead to a fine up to $25,000.00.
This biggest part here is everyone’s safety.

This has been found in the grass near Foodland. If you know whose it is please contact the Annapolis Royal Police Department.

Hello everyone while you are out in the town can you keep your eyes out for a lost scotiabank card. Although the card has been cancelled the owner would like it back. If you find it please turn it in to the Annapolis Royal Police office.
Thank-you so much and have a great Saturday!

As the new school year begins the Annapolis Royal Police Department would like to remind you to always think safety first.
If you’re walking, use the cross walks to cross the road if they are available.
If you are riding a bicycle remember that you are required by law to follow the same rules of the road as if you were driving s car.
If you are driving follow all rules of the road and watch for students.
Drivers remember you are required to stop for school buses with their lights flashing.
And for everyone you are required to stop for ALL stop signs and red lights until the light changes or it is safe to cross. Pedestrians MUST wait for the light to change.
Have a great school year!
