Alberta Auxiliary Program

The Auxiliary Program is a volunteer program intended to enhance community based policing and provide an opportunity for citizens to participate in law enforcement on an organized basis. Auxiliaries provide a complementary service to the regular Force, in other words, auxiliaries assist members of the Force while under supervision. Duties that auxiliaries may perform under direct supervision of a regular member of the RCMP are widely varied, and include, but are not limited to: community policing programs (i.e. Neighborhood Watch, Bicycle Safety, Child Identification); guarding crime scenes to protect evidence; search for missing persons; routine crowd, traffic or parade control; operational ride-a-longs; routine general duty patrols and traffic patrols; office duties (i.e. Computer queries, detachment front desk duties, answering phones); and routine duties as assigned by the detachment commander.

Requirements auxiliary applicants must meet are: be a Canadian citizen of good character; have a mature and responsible attitude; meet the reliability security clearance to the level of Enhanced Reliability-Operational; have successfully high school or have equivalent work-related experience; possess a valid Alberta class 5 drivers license, or better; meet the minimum fitness standards as set by the RCMP; must possess current certification in First Aid/CPR (St. Johns Ambulance Emergency First Aid with Level A CPR); not have a personal and/or professional conflict of interest with the RCMP. Auxiliaries are unarmed, specially trained volunteers. They must be at least 19 years of age, and willing to commit to the program for a minimum of two years.
