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:
Cpl. Evan Collier jumped on the opportunity to return home to Nova Scotia to work in the community of East Hants. As someone who was interested in a policing career since a young age, he’s used his commitment and drive to help Nova Scotians in different ways as an RCMP Member.
“I have got lots of letters from parents and kids saying what I did was helpful. That’s the best reward ever.”

If you are living in Cumberland County or know someone who does, we need your help. Last month, Cumberland County City Council announced they will be taking the route of accepting proposals for a potential new police service. This decision could result in the selection of an expensive new policing service for the region, even though the Council Review Committee did not look in-depth at the services the Cumberland RCMP currently provides to the community.
You can take action today by sharing your support for our RCMP Members serving in Cumberland County. Learn more: ournsrcmp.ca/we-need-your-help-to-keep-the-cumberland-rcmp/
Letter sent. More members are needed plain and simple. What amazes me is that people think that if another force came in that they could do it with the 26 members in Amherst who serve the town and then would have to do the county. Instead what would happen would be thousands of dollars+ to be put in place, more members, more infastruture costs, more members, more vehicles. All of these costs would be on the Taxpayers of Cumberland. Give the RCMP more members. This council and Mayor also are forgetting to tell the reading public they for years have used Free services from the RCMP for Amherst, Ident. Now they are in contract talks with Truro Police to see the costs that would be put on the taxpayers.
I live 4 houses away from our local RCMP detachment. I have only lived here briefly,but I do respect their acquired talents and capabilities. Thank you.
Shame the RCMP have to self-promote now.
No they need to go not after the disaster the way they handled a few years ago. There a waste of our tax dollars
You have to be trusted. Unfortunately that is a bit hard to do these days with all that has happened and the lying.
Pretty sad when a company, firm, individual or in this case law enforcement feels the need to need to self promote. The RCMP is not what I grew up with 50 years ago, serious issues in service and leadership, my observation and opinion and yes a resident of the area you claim to serve. Time for a change
I am scared shitless of the RCMP!🥲
Thank you for your services.!!!
April first robbed no cop ever showed up my place ,2nd time cop of due to injury till return nothing that was June 15 ,third robbed debit card used store said couldn't use visa ,ya maxed it and used my debit ,big joke 1st didn't happen rest would not have ,
I live in the County, not the a town. Who will police my area with out the RCMP? I had to alert 911 about a break and enter into a neighbours home while they were away. The RCMP were there to stop the robbery and I felt safe when they arrived.
The cost of policing is a significant part of the budget for Cumberland County. I believe the municipal council has made a responsible decision to call for proposals regarding policing. Interested organizations (including the RCMP) will get an opportunity to submit a detailed proposal to police the Municipality of Cumberland County based on the criteria defined in the RFP. To me, this appears to be a very responsible thing for municipal government to do.
Until we know which officers wee reprimanded, or fired, including the police chief
Thank you for your service. Please be safe.
More cops uh-oh I hope your training these ones properly the schools don't teach them law only how to be big bullies
I don't like the RCMP and I don't like the Cop's
Something needs to be done at any cost. Someone needs to police the police !
Money isn't the only thing that is important. Solving a major crime can cost over a million dollars. (murder of Karissa Boudreau) RCMP has the resources at their disposal. Front line officers may be excellent. Top Brass MAY be a problem! The Amherst Police Force MAY use several man days of RCMP service every month at the present time. I am reading the book by Paul Palango, 22 Murders, who blasts the RCMP mainly top brass level all across Canada and in the book related to Nova Scotia's massacre. I put my support behind the RCMP for Cumberland County and hope they finally learn from past mistakes.
The day the the RCMP is replaced anywhere in Canada and small towns and villages you will see crime go up like you will not believe.Extra Mounties needed for sure and IF you can get them is going to be a problem.If it’s not broke Don’t Fix IT!!
I own property on the Hunter Road Cumberland but I live in Yarmouth— this form will not let me vote because my mailing address is not in Cumberland !!!!!
I'm proud of the RCMP members out doing their job and trying to serve and protect but not of the hirer ups, who are political and untrustworthy!
No thanks. We don’t need any more of you. What extra duties will you have? Enforcing 15 minute cities.
Thank you for your service!
Hire local people they care
Thank you for your service.
Thank each and everyone of you for your services and putting your life on the line every day.

Sometimes even fighting the elements, our Members are committed to providing the best service possible to Nova Scotians.

Another great job, thank you for your dedication
Thank you for all your services.!!!
