Alberta RCMP appointed its Assistant Commissioner as next Commanding Officer.
Assistant Commissioner Trevor Daroux will assume command of the Alberta RCMP from Deputy Commissioner Rob Hill as he is retiring.
Daroux has over 36 years experience in policing, serving with both the Calgary Police Service and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. He is the current Criminal Operations Officer for the Alberta RCMP.
“It is absolute honour to be appointed the Commanding Officer for the Alberta RCMP,” the Assistant Commissioner, Trevor Daroux, said. “The employees that make up the Alberta RCMP are dedicated professionals who serve Albertans with pride every day. I’m grateful to have such committed individuals working with me to help move the safety goals of Albertans forward.”
As Commanding Officer of the Alberta RCMP, Daroux will be responsible for overseeing Alberta, the RCMP's second largest division, with nearly 4,200 employees across 113 detachments serving more than 1.5 million Albertans.
In 2017, Daroux retired from the Calgary Police Service as the Deputy Chief in charge of the Bureau of Community Policing. That year, he joined the RCMP and served as the Director General National Crime Prevention and Indigenous Policing Services.
Last month, Hill announced his retirement from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police after 37 years of federal public service. He assumed command of the Alberta RCMP early last year.
