KEEPING CANADIANS SAFE
We’re a union that works to keep Canadians safe every day.
We are parole and program officers, tradespeople, frontline staff and teachers, who work inside and outside the federal prison system.
​
We also support the day-to-day operations of hundreds of RCMP detachments.
​
Across 18 federal departments nationwide, we protect the privacy and security of Canadians as well as help provide access to information, justice and human rights.
​

We dispatch Mounties when there’s an emergency.
