Local Strength. National Reach.

The BC RCMP is unlike any other police service in the world. With deep local roots, provincial reach, and national strength, RCMP members are uniquely positioned to keep British Columbians safe—from small towns to big cities.

Trained for Today’s Challenges

Every RCMP officer starts with 26 weeks of rigorous training at Canada’s world-class RCMP Depot in Regina. But excellence doesn’t stop there. Members continually train to respond to the evolving threats and challenges facing our communities—from organized crime to cyber threats to frontline emergencies.

Ready When It Counts

The RCMP’s national team means help is never far away. Officers from across Canada can be quickly deployed to BC to support during major events, disasters, or emergencies. Whether it’s a wildfire, flood or a local investigation, the RCMP can scale up fast.

Quality Policing at a Lower Cost

RCMP service doesn’t just offer world-class policing—it is also cost effective. Thanks to federal contributions, municipalities and the province share costs with the federal government, making it more affordable for BC communities:

  • 30% for municipalities under 10,000 people
  • 10% for municipalities over 10,000

These savings help fund other vital community services like healthcare, transit, and infrastructure.

One Police Service, Vast Capabilities

With a mandate that spans local, provincial, and federal service, the RCMP can connect the case in ways others can’t. A single traffic stop in BC could uncover a transnational drug operation—RCMP teams have the tools to take that case across borders.

Access to 150+ Specialized Units

From Emergency Response Teams and Forensics to Marine Services and Major Crime Units, the RCMP delivers specialized policing expertise that supports frontline officers across BC—including in communities not directly policed by the RCMP.

Some key services include:

  • Emergency Response Teams
  • Major Crime Units
  • Police dog services
  • Air Services
  • Forensic Identification
  • Marine and Underwater Recovery Units
  • Negotiators
