National Police Federation / Fédération de la Police Nationale

The National Police Federation (NPF) is the sole certified bargaining agent for approximately 20,000 Regular Members and Reservists of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) below the rank of Inspector, serving across Canada and internationally. Incorporated in 2016 under the Canada Not-for-profit Corporations Act, its mission is to provide strong, fair, and progressive representation to promote and enhance the rights and well-being of its members.

The NPF's core services include collective bargaining on critical issues such as pay, grievances, working conditions, and workplace safety for RCMP members. The organization is structured with various departments, including Member Services, Government Relations and Policy, Communications, Finance, Information Technology, and Legal Services, to support its mandate. Additionally, the NPF established the National Police Federation Benevolent Foundation (NPFBF), a registered Canadian charity dedicated to supporting the families of fallen RCMP members.

Led by President and CEO Brian Sauvé, the NPF is recognized as the largest police labour relations organization in Canada and the second largest in North America. In recent news, the NPF has actively engaged with government bodies, calling for urgent reforms to the RCMP procurement system in April 2026 to ensure members have adequate equipment. In March 2026, the Federation responded to an Auditor General report on RCMP recruitment, advocating for streamlined processes to address staffing challenges. The NPF also welcomed the federal government's commitment to RCMP contract policing beyond 2032 in February 2026.
