The waters along British Columbia’s coastline are a source of pride for all British Columbians, described by many as rugged, challenging, and awe inspiring. It is this stretch of coastal waters that is home to the RCMP’s West Coast Marine Detachment. Our Marine Unit’s patrol area encompasses an area from Washington State to Alaska, nearly 600 nautical miles in length. The section’s 29 regular members, and 5 support personnel, lend support to 45 Coastal RCMP Detachments, and 8 Municipal Police Services.
