Alberta RCMP name new commanding officer

Apr 8, 2025 | 12:21 PM

Alberta RCMP have announced Assistant Commissioner Trevor Daroux will become the force’s next commanding officer.

Daroux has over 36 years of experience in policing, serving in both Calgary with CPS, and with the RCMP elsewhere.

In 2017, he joined the RCMP and served as Director General National Crime Prevention and Indigenous Policing Services. Assistant Commissioner Daroux is the current Criminal Operations Officer.

“It is absolute honour to be appointed the Commanding Officer for the Alberta RCMP,” said Daroux.

“The employees that make up the Alberta RCMP are dedicated professionals who serve Albertans with pride every day. I’m grateful to have such committed individuals working with me to help move the safety goals of Albertans forward.”

The RCMP in Alberta has nearly 4,200 employees across 113 detachments, and serves more than 1.5 million people.

Daroux’s appointment comes after the retirement of Rob Hill, who announced last month he was leaving the force after 37 years.
