Directorate of Internal Affairs (Lower Mainland Constabulary)

The Anticorruption Directorate Is one of ten directorates of the Lower Mainland Constabulary (LMC), which serves as the professional standards and anti-corruption department of the constabulary. The Anticorruption Directorate's commanding officer is Assistant Chief Constable Stephen Cadigan.

The directorate is one of the smaller directorates, in that it consists of only three operational units, although all three units have a considerable investigation and policing staff hierarchy as well as administrative hierarchy, and resemble squads in their personnel size more than typical patrol or CID units, especially Internal Affairs, Unit 5.

The three operational units of Internal Affairs are:


 * Internal Affairs, Unit 4 (IA-4)
 * Internal Affairs, Unit 5 (IA-5)
 * Internal Affairs, Unit 9 (IA-9)

While all three units have equal powers under the LMC's anticorruption statutes, IA-5 is by far the premier anticorruption unit, containing significantly more resources and nearly twice as many staff as IA-3 and IA-4 combined.
