The National Police Federation (NPF) was founded on February 28, 2016, and certified as the sole bargaining agent of the RCMP on July 12, 2019.
This new Bill set the foundation to allow Members of the RCMP to unionize and provided a framework for collective bargaining on issues such as pay, grievances, working conditions and workplace safety.
[9] The National Police Federation’s Mission is to provide “strong, fair and progressive representation to promote and enhance the rights of our Members across the country”.
Each department has a variety of staff members, many of which are bilingual, allowing the organization to communicate resources, support and information in both English and French.
NPF Members also provide municipal police services in hundreds of communities – from rural and remote areas to larger cities including Surrey[19] and Red Deer.
[20] The National Police Federation Benevolent Foundation (NPFBF) is a registered Canadian charity created to support to the families of fallen RCMP Members.
