Royal Canadian Mounted Police
Chiliad Valley Regional Detachment (CVRD)

This detachment serves: Grapeseed, Harmony, Paleto Bay, Sandy Shores, and Stab City.

General Duty

General Duty members are the first responders to virtually every emergency, complaint, and public safety incident in the Valley. Whether responding to robberies in Sandy Shores, missing persons in Grapeseed, or disturbances on Highway 13, General Duty provides 24/7 frontline coverage. Their work is fast-paced, community-focused, and critical to maintaining peace across our diverse region.

Serious Crime Unit (SCU)

This unit specializes in complex, time-sensitive, and high-risk investigations. From armed robberies to homicides, fraud rings to arson cases, they work diligently behind the scenes to piece together major criminal cases. SCU members are highly trained investigators who combine technical skill with local knowledge, often coordinating with federal and provincial partners when investigations extend beyond the Valley's borders.

Police Dog Services (PDS)

Police Dog Section (PDS) assist General Duty officers by tracking suspects who flee crime scenes and by locating physical evidence such as clothing and weapons which may have been discarded by a fleeing suspect. Police Dog Services are often critical in locating missing persons and apprehending suspects. Specially trained police dogs are also utilized for narcotic and explosive searches. 

Indigenous Policing Section

The Indigenous Policing Section (IPS) is dedicated to fostering strong relationships with Indigenous communities across the region, including the Mount Chiliad Reserve and other CV First Nations territories. IPS officers focus not only on enforcement, but also on prevention, community presence, and cultural understanding. They work closely with local leadership to ensure responsive, inclusive policing that honors the values and needs of the communities we serve.

Detachment Structure

The Chiliad Valley RCMP operates under a regionalized detachment model to ensure effective service delivery across the Valley. Our detachment consists of:

• Officer in Charge (OiC)
  The Officer in Charge holds overall command of the CV RCMP. Responsible for strategic leadership, resource management, and operational oversight, the OiC ensures our detachment delivers high-quality policing.

• Operations Officer
  Reporting directly to the OiC, the Ops Officer handles the day-to-day operational management of the detachment. From overseeing major incidents to coordinating inter-unit deployments.

• Watch Commanders
  Each shift is typically supervised by a Watch Commander who manages frontline operations during their watch. These supervisors ensure patrols are running effectively, calls are being handled properly, and junior members have the support they need.

• Section Commanders
  Specialized units like Serious Crimes, Police Dog Services, and Indigenous Policing Sections are led by senior members who report to the Ops Officer and OiC. These unit leads manage investigations, training, and deployment within their specific field of expertise.

• Road Supervisors
  Road Supervisors, usually Corporals or Sergeants, oversee patrol operations during active shifts. They provide on-scene leadership, mentor constables, and ensure calls are handled safely and effectively.

• Frontline Policing Members
  Frontline Constables are the face of the RCMP, responding to calls, enforcing laws, and protecting the public. From routine patrols to serious incidents, they represent policing in Chiliad Valley daily.
