27 YEARS WITH RCMP

Alberta RCMP Deputy Commissioner retires

Mar 26, 2025 | 2:39 PM

Rob Hill, Deputy Commissioner of the Alberta RCMP, has announced his retirement following 37 years of public service.

Hill took command of the Alberta RCMP early in 2024. 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 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.”

As Commanding Officer, Hill was responsible for overseeing the province of 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 collaborative law enforcement operations.

“I couldn’t have been prouder to lead such a talented group of people,” he added.

Prior to his role in Alberta, Hill served as the Commanding Officer for the Manitoba RCMP, following three years as a criminal operations officers.

An interim Commanding Officer will be appointed upon Hill’s departure, the date of which is yet to be determined, and will serve until a permanent replacement is appointed.
