Halifax Regional Police is committed to community service and partnering with the Halifax Regional Municipality to continually enhance and improve safety and security in our neighbourhoods.

Our officers take an active role in the community both on duty and off. Many of our officers are dedicated community leaders, volunteers, coaches, athletes, and teachers.

The policing situation within Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM) is unique in Canada. HRM is the only municipality that has a fully employed police service (Halifax Regional Police) and a contracted police service (RCMP) serving the same municipality.

Halifax Regional Police (HRP) is responsible for policing the urban core of Halifax Regional Municipality as well as the area commonly referred to as the Sambro Loop and the Purcells Cove - Herring Cove Loop. The remaining areas of HRM are policed by the RCMP.

HRP Core Values

• Respect - display courteous regard for each other and the diverse community we serve
• Diversity - respect and embrace our differences to provide culturally responsible policing
• Integrity - be ethical in actions and decisions
• Professionalism - provide distinguished service
• Accountability - take responsibility for actions

Our Philosophy

• Prompt response to calls for service
• Enforcement of all statutes, federal, provincial and municipal
• Solve crime through investigation of offences, collection and analysis of evidence, gathering information from informants, and other sources such as Crime Stoppers and surveillance
• Crime prevention through public service talks, messages and promotion of crime prevention programs such as Operation Identification, Neighbourhood Watch, etc.
• Referral to other social or government agencies
• Public education through programs to inform and educate the public about problems in their neighbourhoods, or talks on timely topics, encouraging community involvement with police
• Problem solving hand-in-hand with the community to both prevent crime and advance community safety.
