The Service de police de la Ville de Québec (French for Quebec City Police Service) is the municipal police force of Quebec City, Quebec, Canada, and the neighbouring municipalities in the urban agglomeration of Quebec City.

History

Quebec has had some level of policing since 1651, but a modern force was not established until 1843 under the leadership of Robert Henry Russell.[1]

The current force was created from the merger of five separate police forces into the existing Quebec City police force in 2002.[1]

Operations

SPVQ operations consists of four stations covering 6 Boroughs:

Station Address Borough Served Notes
275 Rue de la Maréchaussée 1st Borough La Cité-Limoilou Existing Capital area before 2002.
2780 rue de la Faune 2nd Borough Les Rivières
6th Borough La Haute-Saint-Charles		 Previously served by police departments in Vanier (rest of Les Rivières was covered by SPVQ before 2002), Val-Bélair and Haute-Saint-Charles
1130 route de l'Eglise 3rd Borough Sainte-Foy–Sillery–Cap-Rouge Previous served by police departments for Sainte-Foy, Sillery
4252 rue d'Orsainville 4th Borough Charlesbourg
5th Borough Beauport		 Previous served by police departments for Charlesbourg

There are plans to reduce the number of stations to two:

  • consolidate stations serving La Cité-Limoilou, Les Rivières, Charlesbourg, Beauport and La Haute-Saint-Charles into one station out from Lebourgneuf with a smaller sub station l'édifice F.-X. Drolet de Saint-Roch serving the city centre.
  • Sainte-Foy–Sillery–Cap-Rouge would maintain a dedicate station.
