Support our RCMP Members in Nova Scotia. We are here to keep our communities safe.
#OURNSRCMP
Over 970 RCMP Members are proud to provide policing services to communities across Nova Scotia.
Nearly half of the province’s police officers are RCMP Members.
Our Members serve in 55 detachments in 40 municipalities and 13 indigenous communities.
Together they answer over 145,000 calls for service annually.
The federal government pays 30% of the provincial taxpayers’ policing cost, which represents a ~ $74 million contribution.
66% of Nova Scotians agrees that they benefit from the federal contribution of the cost of RCMP policing (Pollara, Jan. 2022).
79% of Nova Scotians served by the RCMP are satisfied with the policing service they receive.
Only 13% of Nova Scotians would prefer the RCMP to have less control over local policing. (Pollara, Jan. 2022).
Only half of Nova Scotians say that there are adequate resourced for policing in their community (Pollara, Jan. 2022).
Quality policing requires investments to ensure Members have the resources to tackle evolving situations.
RCMP Members provide multiple specialized services to municipalities in Nova Scotia, no matter the size.
Forensics Identification, Collision reconstruction, Crisis Negotiation, Major Crimes, Traffic Services, Underwater Recovery Teams, Police Service Dogs, and many more. Check out the videos below to learn more about these services:
With the help of the community, RCMP Members were able to reach a group of injured snowshoers in Northern Cape Breton. Thank you to the teams and locals for safely bringing the group home.

The NPF is glad to see increased funding for the Public Safety and Security Division and important investments in mental health, homelessness, and social services’ programs in today’s 2023 Nova Scotia Budget, all of which will help improve public safety for Nova Scotians.
However, additional and specific resources are needed to address and alleviate the chronic underfunding of RCMP Members in the province. We will continue to advocate to Finance Minister Hon. Allan MacMaster and Justice Minister Hon. Brad Johns for this much needed investment in policing and RCMP Members.

Totally unreal ! for this family !!!!!!! 😡
The following was written by Darcy Dobson, daughter of mass shooting victim, Heather O'Brien who was still alive for EIGHT HOURS after rcmp officers knew she was alive and covered her up with a tarp and let her die without emergency care anyway. THIS is the most disgusting thing I have ever had to accept. The rcmp are not worthy of serving/protecting my Nova Scotia!!!! This is what Darcy said; As a family we have decided that our best course of action, after today’s disappointing hearing at the Mass Casualty Commission, is to make a statement regarding the death of our Mother, Heather O’Brien. Many months ago, we were given earth shattering information. Information that we never knew, or even imagined possible. When Cst. Ian Fahie approached the scene of our Mother’s homicide, he felt a pulse, and she was making slight noises. You can read this information online through Mass Casualty Commissions website. You will have to search for it, but its there. Cpl. Duane Ivany also attended the scene of our Mother’s homicide. Nearly two (2) years after her death he made a statement to the Mass Casualty Commission stating that, initially, he felt a pulse, but later determined, this was just his own adrenaline. In his statement he says she was dead. During the same time, Cst. Fahie’s Statement reads “So we... I say, we had to let her die, but you know, we had to let her just pass on. We knew she … like to … I don’t think she was going to make it anyways. So, we got a blanket, covered her up and then we just went to the road and guarded”. We are gob smacked, for many reasons, but mostly because this information was not presented to the public today. Cst. Ian Fahie is the lower ranking officer in this situation, he has nothing to gain by lying. More likely he has a lot to lose for telling the truth. Life flight was called in for our Mother. They never arrived. Many things about Cpl. Duane Ivany’s statement to the commission do not line up with the facts we have on paper. It is in the publics best interest to know how first responders will or will not act in the face of a life-or-death situation. The truth is EVERYTHING is so contradicting. The commission has filled its Plains Road Foundational Document, with many contradicting statements. None more contradicting than the statements of Fahie and Ivany. Compare the two (2) and you will know exactly what we mean. How is it that Fahie (who was there first) is trying to put her car in park, and then Ivany needs to break the windows to get inside? The same windows that were shot out 60 meters from where her car landed. These things, and many others, do not add up. We are not pretending to know everything that happened, what we do know, however, is we have supporting evidence. We have all the FitBit information from our Mother’s computer that day. Information we did share with the Commission, but they neglected to include in their document. This information records our Mother having a heart beat until 6:00 p.m.. We know this information is controversial, we also know that it has been used in cases in the U.S. to pinpoint time of death. Once again, we are disappointed that the public is not getting this information, and instead being forced to read through thousands of documents to find anything. If it does not fit their narrative, it is not published. Our Mother deserves better than this and so do the people of this province. There are members of the RCMP who were on scene and never interviewed, nor were the members of our local Fire Department, who were on scene that day. This is unacceptable work in every way. We deserve the best chance to know what happened that day. Thank you The O’Brien Family.
