Laval County

Laval County (French: Comté de Laval) is a ceremonial county of the Canadian province of Quebec, home to the provincial capital of Montreal, Quebec's most populous city and Canada's second-most populous, and heart of Quebec's largest metropolitan area and Canada's second-largest. Laval County is located on several islands in the Saint Lawrence River, and today consists of five administrative counties (counties proper): Royal, Dorval, Anjou, Duvernay and Sainte–Dorothée. In December 2020, Laval County had an estimated population of 10.33 million.

Laval County is the most populous ceremonial county in Quebec, and comprises the two most populous administrative counties in the province (Royal County and Anjou County). All five administrative counties of Laval County are under the jurisdiction of the Laval Police Service, which is responsible for law enforcement at the county level within all five administrative counties and also contracts with all five counties' incorporated municipalities (including Montreal) to provide policing at the municipal level, making it a typical Canadian county constabulary, and the second-largest local police service in the country by number of personnel.
