A veteran police officer with experience in Calgary has been appointed

Veteran police officer Trevor Daroux, with 36 years of experience, has been appointed as the commanding officer of Alberta RCMP.

The appointment was announced on Tuesday, designating Assistant Commissioner Daroux, who previously served with both the Calgary Police Service and the RCMP, to the role. Daroux succeeds Deputy Commissioner Rob Hill, who announced his retirement last month.
In a news release, Daroux expressed his gratitude for the opportunity, calling the position an "absolute honour." "The employees of the Alberta RCMP are dedicated professionals who proudly serve the people of Alberta each day," Daroux stated. "I am thankful to work alongside such committed individuals to advance safety goals for the province." Daroux spent a significant part of his career at the Calgary Police Service, where he held the position of deputy chief in charge of community policing.

He retired in 2017 before joining the RCMP as the director general of national crime prevention and Indigenous policing services. In his new role, Daroux will oversee approximately 4,200 RCMP personnel who serve a population of 1.5 million Albertans across 113 detachments throughout the province. Alberta is recognized as the second-largest division of the RCMP.
