One voice for police leadership
in British Columbia

Decades of leadership

The British Columbia Association of Chiefs of Police (BCACP) is an association representing the senior police leadership of both the RCMP and Municipal police within British Columbia. There are also associate members from various law enforcement and other agencies.

The purpose of the BCACP is to encourage and develop co-operation amongst all its members in the pursuit and attainment of their goals, promoting a high standard of ethics, integrity, honour, and conduct, fostering uniformity of police practices, encouraging the development and implementation of efficient and effective practices in the prevention and detection of crime, and effectively communicating problems and concerns to appropriate levels of authority.

Refining the Standard

The BC Association of Chiefs of Police meets three times a year to discuss common policing issues and maintain our strong relationships with one another.

Making a Difference

The BC Association of Chiefs of Police has over twenty Standing and Special Purpose Committees that focus on specific mandates and key issues. You can find out what each committee is committed to pursuing here.

 

Sponsorship Opportunities

There are many ways to support and contribute to our initiatives. Join us in making a lasting impact and shaping the future of policing.
