The 28 municipal police forces

The list comes from Québec.ca. The population served is from the ministry's 2022 profile of police coverage. Under the name of a police force that serves several municipalities, their list comes from its website or that of its city.

Thetford Mines no longer has a municipal police force. The Government of Québec announced on August 31, 2022 that the Sûreté du Québec would serve the city. The salary of each police force is compared on our police officer salary page. Hiring requirements are on police jobs.

Indigenous and specialized police forces

Indigenous police forces serve 44 of the 55 Indigenous communities in Quebec, according to the "Types de corps de police" page on Québec.ca. The Sûreté du Québec serves the other 11. These forces are generally set up through agreements between a band council, the Government of Quebec and the Government of Canada. The police force directory of the ministère de la Sécurité publique names 22 of them.

Québec.ca classifies two organizations as specialized police forces, each with an exclusive mandate. The Unité permanente anticorruption (UPAC) coordinates the fight against corruption. The Bureau des enquêtes indépendantes (BEI) investigates when a person other than an on-duty police officer dies, is seriously injured or is injured by a firearm used by a police officer.
