Q: How many officers are there on the Sunshine Coast?

A: The Sunshine Coast RCMP detachment is home to around 35 police officers. The general duty, or uniformed patrol officers, are the officers most frequently seen by the public, and may be in marked police cars, on foot, on bike patrol, or on the water. Officers in the general investigations section focus on serious crimes and proactive enforcement, and there is a youth intervention officer, who liaises with schools, and focuses on youth issues in the community.

First Nations policing officers liaise between the RCMP and the Sechelt Indian Band, and two Traffic Services officers focus on keeping our roads safe. Supervisors of the various units in the detachment work to ensure efficient delivery of police resources across the Sunshine Coast.
