About Richmond RCMP

The RCMP has served Richmond with pride for over 70 years. Policing has changed considerably since 1950 when our Detachment was first formed. As we continue to evolve, we will keep moving toward the goal of enhancing community safety through partnerships and innovation.
Richmond RCMP is currently led by Chief Superintendent Dave Chauhan. Learn more about Chief Superintendent Dave Chauhan.

Like the 224,425 residents we serve, our police officers are diverse in cultural backgrounds with over 30 different languages spoken. This variety in cultural backgrounds helps create valuable opportunities for our police officers to conduct public outreach and be more engaged with our diverse community, in addition to enhancing our operational policing abilities.

The Richmond Detachment is your RCMP and we will keep working for you, our community, to protect and promote safety in Richmond. Past, present and future in the midst of a changing landscape, we are committed to evolving with you and the needs of our community.

Richmond RCMP’s priorities for 2021-2025

We are committed to being accountable to the community we serve. An integral part of the success of our Strategic Plan is tracking measurable targets. Every year, we review recent achievements and challenges and use a variety of assessment tools to identify if our strategies need adjustments to meet changes within the operational environment. By setting goals and identifying action plans we are able to ensure that our public safety responses are effective.

After conducting a thorough analysis of the current community context, feedback from our stakeholders and operational policing environment we focused on three Policing Pillars for our 2021-2025 Strategic Plan. These pillars provide a framework for achieving our overall goal of making Richmond the safest city in Canada.

2021-2025 Pillars:
