After 37 years of federal public service, Deputy Commissioner Rob Hill has announced his retirement from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).

Rob Hill assumed command of the Alberta RCMP early last year. He has served over 27 years with the RCMP and several years as a medic with the Canadian Armed Forces.  

“This was an incredibly difficult decision for me, but after some very serious thought, and many discussions with my family, I have decided that it is time,” said Deputy Commissioner Rob Hill, “I’ve always said you’re either in operations or you’re supporting them. The Alberta RCMP is the epitome of that mantra, and the division is made up of dedicated, hardworking professionals who have committed themselves to making Alberta a safe and secure place to live. I couldn’t have been prouder to lead such a talented group of people.”

As Commanding Officer, Hill was responsible for overseeing Alberta, the RCMP’s second largest division. The division serves as Alberta’s contract provincial police force, provides contract municipal police services to large municipalities, and is a key partner in joint forces law enforcement operations. Prior to his role in Alberta, Hill served as the Commanding Officer of the Manitoba RCMP, following three years as its Criminal Operations Officer.

An interim Commanding Officer will be appointed on Rob Hill’s departure (date to be determined) and will serve until a permanent replacement is appointed.
