Why the RCMP

Proven, Trusted, and Built for Alberta

Backed by national strength and rooted in local accountability, the RCMP delivers safety, trust, and value that can’t be replicated.

• ~3,100 RCMP officers police Alberta and its communities.
• 113 RCMP detachments serving towns, cities, and rural communities across Alberta.
• 150+ specialized services: from cybercrime to tactical response and more.
• 97% of 9-1-1 calls answered within two minutes.
• 20,500+ RCMP applications in the 2024/25 fiscal year, exceeding historic amounts.
• 10–30% of policing costs covered by federal funding with the RCMP every single year, meaning more funds become available for other investments like education and healthcare.
