Alberta RCMP Deputy Commissioner Rob Hill has announced his retirement after 37 years of public service.
Hill assumed command of the Alberta RCMP, the force’s second largest division, last year.
He previously served as commanding officer of the Manitoba RCMP.
Hill has served more than 27 years with the RCMP and several years as a medic with the Canadian Armed Forces.
“This was an incredibly difficult decision for me, but after some very serious thought, and many discussions with my family, I have decided that it is time,” Hill said in a news release on Tuesday.
“I’ve always said you’re either in operations or you’re supporting them. The Alberta RCMP is the epitome of that mantra, and the division is made up of dedicated, hardworking professionals who have committed themselves to making Alberta a safe and secure place to live. I couldn’t have been prouder to lead such a talented group of people.”
An interim commanding officer will be appointed on Hill’s departure date, which has yet to be determined, and will serve until a permanent replacement is appointed.
