Volunteer with BC RCMP

The volunteers working with the RCMP in BC help us meet our challenges while increasing our reach into the communities we serve.

The work of volunteers strengthens our communities and contributes towards our goal of a safe and secure Canada.

Canada’s volunteers make a tremendous contribution in communities across the country and around the globe. They make our communities resilient and our country vibrant. At an organizational level, this contribution is mirrored by our own dedicated force of 1,600 RCMP community based volunteers. These individuals allow us to deepen our connection with our communities and extend our activities and influence beyond our own reach
