The Kingston Detachment's complement has grown to 30 police officers, six public service employees and one civilian staff from the two members posted there when it first opened in 1932. Originally serving just the Kingston area, the Detachment was amalgamated in 1996 with what was then the Belleville, Brockville and Pembroke detachments.

It now serves Eastern Ontario from Trenton to Cardinal and north to Algonquin Park and Pembroke, including the cities of Belleville, Brockville, Kingston and Trenton.

The Kingston area is steeped in history and is the resting place of Canada’s first Prime Minister, Sir John A. Macdonald. It is also known as the fresh water capital of North America and is a major port for cruises to the Thousand Islands. The Detachment is ideally situated in this city which is located halfway between Montreal and Toronto, Canada’s two largest cities.

Mandate

The mandate of the Kingston Detachment is the enforcement of federal statutes and the Criminal Code. The enforcement units are all focused on the RCMP priorities of disrupting organized crime and terrorist activities and are divided as follows:

• Customs and Excise Section
• Integrated Proceeds of Crime (IPOC) Section
• Drug Section
• Federal Enforcement Section
• Criminal Intelligence Section

Integrated Border Enforcement Team (IBET)
The Kingston-based Thousand Islands IBET is one of 15 teams across the country and one of four in Ontario ('O' Division). These teams are multi-agency law enforcement bodies harmonizing Canadian and U.S. efforts to target cross-border criminal activity and a need to enhance border integrity.
