Districts and Detachments

In Alberta the RCMP is divided into four areas, or Districts, each of which has a commander at the rank of Superintendent. The District Commander has a support group of District Advisory Non-Commissioned Officers (DANCO's), who share the management review functions. Along with supervision and guidance, these senior Non-Commissioned Officers are able to assist and mentor Detachment Commanders as they address policing issues. Together these management teams work towards a provincial strategic priority: Safe Communities in Alberta.

In support of detachments, specialized units and investigation sections exist to support and enhance the police services offered by the RCMP. A few examples of these would be the Emergency Response Team, Police Service Dogs and Forensic Identification Section. Additional operational support available includes General Investigation Section and Major Crimes units, located at larger centres in Alberta.
