Assistant Commissioner Trevor Daroux has been appointed commanding officer of the Alberta RCMP, the division announced Tuesday.
Daroux succeeds Deputy Commissioner Rob Hill, who is retiring from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police after 37 years of federal public service. Hill assumed command of the Alberta RCMP in early 2024.
Daroux has more than 36 years of experience in policing, having served with both the Calgary Police Service and the RCMP. In 2017, he retired from the Calgary service as Deputy Chief in charge of the Bureau of Community Policing. That same year, he joined the RCMP as Director General of National Crime Prevention and Indigenous Policing Services.
He currently serves as the Criminal Operations Officer for the Alberta RCMP.
"It is absolute honour to be appointed the Commanding Officer for the Alberta RCMP," Daroux said in a statement. "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 Alberta RCMP is the second-largest division in the national police force, with nearly 4,200 employees across 113 detachments serving more than 1.5 million people.
