Work environment

BC RCMP Criminal Analysis Program

The BC Royal Canadian Mounted Police Criminal Analysis Program (BC RCMP CAP) offers a wide range of challenges and opportunities in areas such as organized crime, financial crime, prolific offender management, drugs, terrorism, and more. We are looking for career-driven, highly motivated professionals who want to make a difference in their communities by identifying, analyzing, and disrupting criminal activity.

At the BC RCMP CAP, we can help you create a career that is meaningful, challenging, and rewarding.

Intent of the process

The intent of this process is to establish a pool of qualified candidate to meet anticipated future needs if and when they arise. Once established, the qualified pool will be valid for a period of one year and may be extended. It may be used to staff future vacancies (including similar positions, on either a specified period or indeterminate basis, and at either full or part time hours) throughout RCMP's 'E' Division in British Columbia. You must therefore clearly identify which location(s) you are applying to. The pool is intended to be inclusive of Public Service (PS) employees and Civilian Members (CM).

Should a Civilian Member (CM) be found qualified and selected for appointment, the appointment will not result in a change of status to the Public Service (PS) category for the CM.

The process to obtain RCMP security clearance involves a security/reliability interview and a field investigation regarding matters of criminal activity which includes reference checks, verification of credit/financial status, education, employment, etc. As such, the process may take several weeks or months to complete.

To be granted RCMP security clearance and to maintain the ethical standards of the RCMP, candidates must not be, or have been, involved in certain criminal activities, have been dishonourably discharged, have pending personal bankruptcies, etc. For additional information and a complete list of activities, please visit http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/en/good-character .

Your details should clearly demonstrate HOW you meet the specified criteria, by including when, where and how you obtained the requirement (i.e. education or experience). Please include examples of the functions performed where relevant.
