Enhanced Public Safety

One of the primary responsibilities of the BC RCMP is to enhance the safety and security of British Columbians. As the political, social, technological, and economic landscape in the province of BC continues to evolve and internal organizational pressures intensify, we recognize the need to adapt our operations to meet new challenges and proactively prepare for the future. This includes efforts to: 

• deliver policing services to increase trust with all British Columbians, and in particular, Indigenous, vulnerable, marginalized, and racialized populations;
• improve our approach to public safety issues through partnerships and collaboration with other community-based and social sector organizations; 
• expand the use of technology to support frontline policing and overall operations, equip our employees, and support the needs of our communities. 

Accountability and Governance

The BC RCMP is committed to building and maintaining trust and confidence among the public, our contract partners, and stakeholders through enhanced transparency and accountability in our business processes. We strive to: 

• improve our consultation with municipal, provincial, and Indigenous partners; 
• ensure our processes and services align with the priorities and expectations of our communities; 
• develop and implement practices that use technology, data, and business intelligence; 
• leverage existing and new communication tools to facilitate proactive, transparent, and timely external information sharing and reporting; 
• use our financial resources transparently and accountably; 
• prioritize activities and services that are sustainable and contribute to transformational change. 

Employee Excellence and Workplace Culture

The BC RCMP is only as strong, effective, and healthy as the people it employs. We are committed to improving the inclusiveness of our organization through enhanced awareness and action on issues such as systemic racism, cultural competency and humility, discrimination, and all forms of harassment. In addition, we strive to: 

• prioritize the physical and mental health, wellness, and resiliency of our employees;
• support our employees at all stages of their careers;
• provide training, professional development, and equipment to enhance job performance and a positive workplace culture;
• evolve our workforce strategies to be responsive to emerging challenges and competing priorities.
