Deputy Chief Constable of the Lower Mainland Constabulary

The Deputy Chief Constable of the Lower Mainland Constabulary is the second-highest ranking sworn officer of the Lower Mainland Constabulary. Unlike the immediately lower rank of Assistant Chief Constable, there can only be one Deputy Chief Constable, with all other senior officers holding the rank of Assistant Chief Constable or below.

The Deputy Chief Constable (abbreviated DCC) answers to the Chief Constable of the Lower Mainland Constabulary, whose role the DCC takes on regularly when the Chief Constable is unavailable due to the many political and/or diplomatic functions the Chief Constable undertakes on a daily basis. Most of the constabulary staff, especially those below the rank of Assistant Chief Constable (ACC), answers directly to the DCC, and only see the Chief Constable during official functions or celebrations as well as very important court hearings or plenary constabulary meetings.
