The "RCMP in BC" and "Sidney/North Saanich News Release" webpages provide information regarding the RCMP in our area.


The Sidney/North Saanich detachment of the RCMP is located at 9895 Fourth Street in the Town of Sidney and their telephone number is (250) 656-3931.                

The detachment is made up of 31 police officers and 8 support staff. In addition to the 19 police officers who carry out traditional front line policing duties, there are 4 police officers who investigate more serious crimes, 2 officers who focus on traffic enforcement, 2 officers who focus on school liaison and community policing, 2 officers who focus on providing policing to the 4 Saanich Peninsula First Nations communities and a detachment commander and operations NCO who provide overall leadership to the detachment.

The Sidney/North Saanich Detachment is fortunate to have a large number of volunteers who donate their time to make this community one of the most desirable in which to live. These volunteers donate hundreds of hours annually to assist with a variety of community policing initiatives such as Speed Watch and Victim Services. Members of the Auxiliary Constable program conduct foot patrols, bike patrols, home security checks and are involved in Coastal Watch and Marine Watch. These volunteer police members also assist the regular police members when required.

The police members and staff at the detachment are active in the community outside of their work. Many coach sports teams and volunteer at a number of functions to further support the communities they police. All detachment members are supporters of the annual Cops for Cancer - Tour de Rock program which raises funds for research into childhood cancers.
