Police (RCMP), and Community Safety and Municipal Bylaw Enforcement

West Shore RCMP

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) provides police protection for the City of Langford through the West Shore RCMP Detachment. Services are provided through a police service contract with the Province of B.C. The City’s portion of the policing resources allocated to the West Shore RCMP Detachment is funded 90% by the City of Langford and 10% by the Province.

The West Shore RCMP provides policing services to the City of Langford, the City of Colwood, the Town of View Royal, the District of Metchosin, the District of Highlands, Songhees First Nation, and the Xwsepsum (Esquimalt First Nation). The detachment building is jointly owned by the City of Langford, the City of Colwood, and the Town of View Royal, with the costs associated with the operation and maintenance of the building shared between the three owner municipalities. The City of Langford provides administrative services with regard to the ownership of the building. As required by the police service contract with the Province of B.C., the municipality provides municipal employees who work at the detachment.

In 2025, the City of Langford had an authorized strength of 74 RCMP officers and 33 municipal employees. Historically, the City of Langford has been responsible for the hiring and management of municipal employees on behalf of the Town of View Royal, and more recently, the District of Metchosin, while the City of Colwood hired and was responsible for the administration of their own RCMP municipal employees. Effective June 1, 2025, the City of Langford became the employer of record for all 42 municipal employees at the detachment. Colwood, View Royal and Metchosin each contribute to the costs on a proportional basis.

Community Safety and Municipal Bylaw Enforcement

The Community Safety and Municipal Bylaw Enforcement Department acts to ensure community standards are upheld by enforcing Council’s Regulatory Bylaws and by providing public education. Community Safety Officers monitor community public spaces by foot, bicycle, and by vehicle patrols and actively engage with members of the public, answering questions and providing important community information. The department works closely with many external agencies to provide the highest levels of service to ensure a safe and enjoyable community for all.
