The Alberta RCMP have a new deputy commissioner following a change of command ceremony earlier today.
Special guests and RCMP employees watched Deputy Commissioner Trevor Daroux assume command from Deputy Commissioner Rob Hill, who is retiring after nearly 30 years of service.
Daroux is in his 37th year of policing, having served as a deputy chief with the Calgary Police Service and with the RCMP. He was appointed the 27th commanding officer of the Alberta RCMP in 2025.
In 2017, he retired from the Calgary Police Service as the deputy chief in charge of the Bureau of Community Policing. That same year, he joined the RCMP and served as the director general of National Crime Prevention and Indigenous Policing.
Before becoming commanding officer, Daroux served as the Alberta RCMP’s criminal operations officer. Throughout his career, he has held a variety of operational, investigative and administrative roles.
His passion lies in working through a multi-disciplinary lens to address the root causes of crime and social disorder.
When accepting his current role, Daroux said he is focused on supporting RCMP employees in Alberta by embracing innovation and improving relationships with all Albertans through community outreach.
We’re not just responding to crime, we’re responding to people, and that means engaging with the communities we serve," he said. "Working hand in hand with our communities and partner agencies, I know that our collective efforts will continue to build a stronger, safer Alberta, and I look forward to helping guide our employees as we move forward.”
As commanding officer, Daroux is responsible for leading Alberta’s provincial police service, overseeing nearly 4,200 employees across 113 detachments serving more than 1.5 million Albertans.
“Deputy Commissioner Daroux’s extensive operational experience will be a tremendous asset to Alberta and its people,” said RCMP Commissioner Mike Duheme.
“He has shown a passion for working to better address the root causes of crime and social disorder and understands the importance of building trust, which is central to everything we do at the RCMP.”
