Nov 5, 2026 | 4:24 PM

The RCMP is expanding its Experienced Peace Officer program, also known as ExPO, into Alberta, the Northwest Territories, and Nunavut.

Officials say the program is a brand-new approach to recruiting experienced officers.

It originally launched in B.C. and Yukon in July 2026.

“The ExPO program is a reflection of the RCMP’s ongoing commitment to modernizing recruitment and attracting experienced talent,” says Sgt. Jennifer MacLellan of the Alberta RCMP.

“By welcoming qualified peace officers into our ranks, we are enhancing our ability to serve Canadians and respond effectively to the evolving needs of the communities we serve.”
