Will Ng has received a promotion.

The Richmond RCMP's detachment commander for the past four years is now Chief Superintendent Will Ng. 

Lower Mainland district operations officer Chief Superintendent Maureen Levy announced the appointment via video conference in mid-February.

"I have had the pleasure to work alongside Chief Superintendent Will Ng since November of 2019,” said Levy. “He is the consummate professional who is an extremely dedicated, humble and exemplary member of the RCMP. His unwavering commitment to his team, community and external stakeholders is truly noteworthy. He leads with grace, distinction and has a genuine respect for all and we are truly fortunate to have him lead the Richmond RCMP Detachment.

Mayor Malcolm Brodie also participated in the announcement. 

“Richmond has experienced significant growth in recent years and officer-in-charge Will Ng has played an important role in ensuring our RCMP detachment has a strong presence in the community,” said Brodie. “Under his leadership, the Richmond RCMP has created new engagement opportunities with residents, spearheaded programs to build inclusiveness, and established important programs such as FOX-80. We congratulate him on his appointment as chief superintendent and look forward to his leadership in making Richmond a safe and resilient community.”

Ng began his RCMP career in Surrey in 1995, where he first worked as a general duty member. From there, he moved on to work on a number of specialized teams including drugs section, serious crime, major crime and the emergency response team. He also worked on the integrated homicide investigation team and as part of the combined forces special enforcement unit. His wealth of serious and major crime experience serves him well as an accredited team commander.

Ng has received both a commanding officer and commissioner commendation, and been awarded the British Columbia Medal of Valor, the Canadian Meritorious Service Medal and the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal.

He arrived in Richmond as officer-in-charge in spring 2017. Upon his arrival, he immediately began seeking out opportunities to enhance the detachment’s service delivery and improve workplace culture. Many of the initiatives implemented under his leadership have improved public safety, employee wellness, accountability mechanisms, and community outreach and engagement.
