Police | Sûreté du Québec
The Town of Stanstead is serviced by police services under the Sûreté du Québec (SQ). Their agents are appointed as the authority for enforcing town by-laws and provincial laws. SQ stations prepare prevention activities for all the municipalities they serve, such as proactive and non-penal measures that specifically aim to reduce criminal activity. Most of these prevention activities take place on a daily basis, in the context of interventions taken by agents working the territory.

Since the fall of 2018, the Town of Stanstead has been a member of the Régie incendie Memphrémagog-Est. The fire station, located under Town Hall at 425 Dufferin Street, is well-positioned to serve the town and greater Stanstead area, if necessary.
In addition to the Régie director and preventionist based at the Hatley municipal offices, the Stanstead fire department includes 25 firefighters, 22 men and 3 women including 1 chief of operations, 1 capitan, 3 lieutenants and 20 firefighters. At 14 % of the team, that’s a remarkable female presence for a typically masculine profession – and in a rural region, too!
