Anthony Allison Milo

Anthony Allison Milo, COM (b. 16 September 1956 in Vancouver) is the current Chief Constable of the Lower Mainland Constabulary (LMC), British Columbia's largest single territorial police force. He assumed office on 7 August 2015.

Milo began his career as a police constable in 1977 after joining the Vancouver Police Department, which in 1980 was amalgamated along with multiple other local and regional law enforcement agencies to form the Lower Mainland Constabulary, by which time Milo had already attained the rank of staff sergeant. From 2001 to 2006 Milo served as an Assistant Chief Constable, and from 2006 to 2015 as Deputy Chief Constable of the LMC. Following the retirement of former Chief Constable Jim Chu in May 2015, Milo became acting Chief Constable, and three months later was officially confirmed as Chief Constable by the Lower Mainland Police Board. One of Milo's first major policy decisions upon assuming the office of Chief Constable was to strengthen the constabulary's Internal Affairs Directorate, the funding for which was tripled and its personnel nearly doubled in number. This almost immediately proved a smart move, as Internal Affairs, Unit 9 (IA-9) soon thereafter dismantled a major institutionalised link between organised crime and the constabulary, involving several corrupt officers, ultimately including Assistant Chief Constable Declan O'Connor, former head of the constabulary's Criminal Investigation Directorate (CID); IA-9 credited their success primarily to the greatly expanded resources and increased manpower made available to them by Chief Constable Milo's reforms.
