Alberta RCMP Change of Command Ceremony

EDMONTON – Last week, special guests and RCMP employees witnessed Deputy Commissioner Trevor Daroux assume command of the Alberta RCMP from Deputy Commissioner Rob Hill.

Deputy Commissioner Trevor Daroux is in his 37th year of policing, having served as a Deputy Chief with the Calgary Police and served with the RCMP. He was appointed the 27th Commanding Officer of the Alberta RCMP in 2025. In 2017, he retired from Calgary Police 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 National Crime Prevention and Indigenous Policing. Before becoming Commanding Officer, Deputy Commissioner 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, Deputy Commissioner Daroux shared his focus on supporting RCMP employees in Alberta by embracing new innovations and improving relationships with all Albertans through community outreach.

“I’m honoured to step into the role as the Commanding Officer of the Alberta RCMP,” says Deputy Commissioner Trevor Daroux. “Throughout my time with the RCMP, I have seen firsthand the positive impact our dedicated employees make every day.  We’re not just responding to crime, we’re responding to people, and that means engaging with the communities we serve. 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, Deputy Commissioner Daroux assumes the responsibility of 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,” says 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. I look forward to seeing what the Alberta RCMP will achieve under Trevor’s leadership.”
