About "C" Division

Created in Quebec in 1920, our division was already tasked back then with enforcing some forty federal statutes. Over the years, we have evolved with society to become a modern team with sophisticated investigative techniques and a broader mandate, with an ever-growing international reputation.

Today, our 1,200 police officers, civilian members and Public Service employees focus on financial integrity, national and border security and the fight against organized crime. We have specialized resources for our investigations, offer protective services to dignitaries and conduct crime prevention initiatives within the community. We deliver services throughout Quebec and the large southeastern region of Ontario.

In addition to the Headquarters located in Montréal, our division consists of 15 detachments that are distributed geographically within two districts, namely East and West districts. Since 1998, we have been an integral part of Central Region, which includes the RCMP divisions in Quebec, Ontario and the National Capital Region.

Our investigations –strictly federal– are in no way comparable to the concept of community policing, which is used elsewhere in Canada and by our policing partners in Quebec. However, by joining forces with our local and foreign partners in the area of intelligence, we are able to conduct successful interterritorial investigations. We are working for you, at home and abroad.
