Narrative:

This event occurred after landing; during taxi. Upon approaching ramp after landing during taxi in we encountered smoke in the airplane. The event lasted about two minutes. The smoke appeared in the cockpit above the glare shield. First officer saw it; I did not as I was looking outside for taxi. It was noticeable all through the cabin. During this encounter I kept the airplane moving; we shut off possible causes of smoke from the cockpit; queried the cabin to learn that they also smelled smoke from both ends of the cabin. We had an additional crew member who is also an instructor here; he checked the C1-2 cargo and found less smoke smell there. The smoke dissipated quickly while I continued taxi to gate for parking; I instructed the number one flight attendant to deplane as soon as we had a tail stand; without jet bridge. Also during this time; the first officer notified ground control and requested crash fire rescue equipment. The passengers deplaned quickly; and were lead up the jet bridge stairs. As soon as we parked the airplane was shut down dark. We reviewed the air conditioning smoke checklist. Fire trucks arrived and checked the aircraft for heat signatures and found none. I contacted dispatch from my cell phone for further assistance; to advise her and asked her to contact maintenance control for maintenance on the aircraft. Actions were taken to remove the source of smoke; park the airplane; and remove the passengers as quickly as possible without causing a panic.
