The Chilliwack Detachment provides a wide range of policing services from patrol and investigations to
proactive services. Operational support is enhanced by support staff (municipal employees, public servants
and regular members) fulfilling roles as prisoner guards, records management clerks, court liaisons, front
counter clerks and other administrative assistance.
Another key area of support comes from over 162 volunteers
who work out of the downtown Wellington Chilliwack Crime
Prevention Services Office which houses:
Victim Services
Crime Stoppers
Block / Grow Watch
Restorative Justice
Citizens on Patrol
Speed Watch
Crime Free Multi-
Housing Program
The Chilliwack Crime Prevention Services Office is operated
by the Chilliwack Community Policing Society, which
receives significant funding from the City of Chilliwack.
The Society could not function adequately without the
dedication of its numerous volunteers. All of its employees
and volunteers are committed to making Chilliwack a safe
place to live and work. The RCMP is very proud of the
dedication and hard work these individuals put into helping
to keep the community safe.
Road Safety/Traffic Enforcement
Our traffic services unit continues to be proactive,
concentrating their efforts on school zones and impaired
driving. Traffic safety is a top priority in the region and
Traffic members as well as General Duty members will
continue to ensure safety on Chilliwack roads.
Traffic Fine Revenue Sharing Program
The City of Chilliwack receives traffic fine revenue sharing
funds through the BC Government’s Strategic Community
Investment Fund (SCIF). The City utilizes these funds to
offset the costs for policing services to reduce the amount
of funding required through general taxation.
Marijuana Growing Operations
In 2013, the Upper Fraser Valley Regional Detachment
RCMP Crime Reduction Unit once again had a targeted
enforcement approach to identifying and disrupting
marijuana growing operations.
“Stuff the Cruiser” Event
The fifth annual Chilliwack RCMP “Stuff the Cruiser” Event
was again a huge success with the generous help from
the community. Several police officers volunteered their
time and were onsite at three Overwaitea Foods locations
throughout Chilliwack.
