Fact Sheet - Mandate and Structure
The Alberta Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) ensures the safety and well-being of all Albertans. Through the Provincial Police Service Agreement, the RCMP provides policing services as Alberta's Provincial Police Service. The Alberta RCMP is committed to upholding the law so that all residents can feel safe in their communities. The 2022/23-2024/25 Joint Business Plan supports the 2021-2024 Alberta Justice and Solicitor General's Business Plan outcome that Albertans are safe and protected. This will be achieved through priorities that have been developed in consultation and collaboration with JSG and with input from Rural Municipalities of Alberta and Alberta Municipalities. The development of this plan has also taken into consideration input from communities as reflected in the Interim Police Advisory Board (PAB) report.
Over the next three years, the Alberta RCMP pledges to enhance engagement and communication with communities and stakeholders, and work collectively through consultation and collaboration to develop policing priorities that reflect their needs. The first step of this was initiated in the creation of this plan by making a conscious effort to ensure that JSG, Rural Municipalities of Alberta (RMA), and Alberta Municipalities (AM) were involved in the creation of priorities that serve our communities. Moving forward, the RCMP will work at local levels to ensure all Albertans are informed about and included in setting the policing priorities for their communities.
As an innovative organization, the RCMP understands that in order to create and maintain safe communities, policing needs to be proactive and disrupt the cycle of crime. We must understand the drivers of crime and focus on priority offences to increase community safety. In order to do this efficiently we must use all resources available, including intelligence, analytics, and partnerships to ensure that all parts of the crime cycle are addressed. By working collaboratively with partners we are able to effectively utilize police resources and services within the community safety ecosystem.
We understand that communities have different needs and that in order to be effective we must be responsive to those needs. By strengthening relationships, working together in support of Reconciliation, and responding to the needs of Indigenous communities we can ensure safety for all. Promoting inclusion and building trust with diverse communities is paramount, and we must address the behaviours that threaten their sense of safety and belonging. We must listen to the concerns of diverse and vulnerable communities in order to respond effectively and promote their inclusion. In so doing, we can ensure that service delivery models and strategies effectively meet the policing needs of all our communities.
