For a better experience on RCIPS, UPDATE YOUR BROWSER. Several units within the Uniform Branch of the RCIPS serve specific functions within the organization’s overall policing response, and require specialized training and skills for the officers who work in them. The Air Operations Unit, Joint Marine Unit, Tactical Firearms Unit and K-9 Unit all enable the RCIPS to offer a diverse policing response with specialized capacities to the varied situations that can present themselves in the policing context. All Units report to the Superintendent of Specialist Operations, who oversees risk management and resource allocation of these Units’ availability and capacities to both planned police operations and critical police incidents that occur across the jurisdiction.
Acting Superintendent Brad Ebanks leads Uniform and Specialist Operations, which consists of the Air Operations Unit, Firearms Response Unit, K-9, Roads Policing and Traffic Enforcement, Community Policing, Uniform Operations and Operational Support.
The RCIPS and members of the Special Constabulary carried out Operation Winter Guardian during the month of December up to and including the New Year’s holidays, which involved enhanced policing to ensure public safety during the increased activities involving the day and nighttime economies.
The RCIPS wants to encourage everyone to stay safe over the holiday period as our Holiday Safety Operation is in full effect. As part of our enhanced public safety campaign throughout the holidays officers will continue conducting checks.
