The Ridge Meadows RCMP Detachment is responsible for policing in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. The current Ridge Meadows RCMP Master Plan identifies community priorities in the areas of crime reduction, a focus on the reduction in property crime, delivering policing services with a sensitivity to social issues, engagement and interaction with youth, and enforcement and community education around road and traffic safety.
The Detachment currently has 129 members, with 87 assigned to Maple Ridge, 23 assigned to Pitt Meadows, and three supplied by the Provincial government. In addition, there are three civilian Community Safety Officers in Maple Ridge. Maple Ridge also contributes the equivalent of 13 regular members in integrated (centralized) RCMP services.
Municipal employees provide clerical and administrative support to the Detachment for exhibits, guarding, customer services, records management, Canadian Police Information Centre support, crime analysis, court liaison, training and staff development, and volunteer coordination. Our detachment has an active volunteer base who dedicate themselves to RCMP programs such as Citizens on Patrol, Citizens Bike Patrol, Speed Watch, Block Watch, and the RCMP Auxiliary program.
