The RCMP's National Division is looking to fill various administrative positions.

The RCMP National Division's office is in Ottawa but, contrary to other RCMP Divisions, its mandate has no physical territory. The RCMP in the National Capital Region (NCR) has a general duty mandate. This includes traffic on federal routes and properties, patrolling and demonstrations. We protect the Prime Minister and some Canadian and foreign dignitaries (VIPs). We protect embassies, consulates and other designated locations in the NCR. We investigate a variety of sensitive, high profile cases that could threaten Canada's integrity and reputation; for example, cybercrime, domestic and international corruption, war crimes and crimes against humanity, to name a few.

If you have an interest in the current and future challenges related to National Division's mandates, we encourage you to apply on this selection process.
