Management Advisory Board for the RCMP

The Management Advisory Board (MAB) for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) provides advice and guidance to the RCMP Commissioner on key modernization and management matters.

The MAB is an independent group of up to 13 external experts. It provides impartial advice based on its expertise, experience, and best judgement. The MAB establishes its own priorities, procedures and work plans.

The Government of Canada established the MAB in June 2019 under the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Act. 

Thank you for consulting our website which went public in June 2023 as part of the MAB's commitment to be more outward facing as it begins to enhance its oversight of the RCMP. I acknowledge the important work done by all current and former members and the MAB secretariat with respect to establishing the MAB as an important and independent advisory board for the RCMP.

MAB members are selected through a merit-based selection procedure attentive to the need to reflect the diversity of Canada and to have the range of expertise necessary to offer advice on the wide variety of challenges involved in modernizing the RCMP and making it responsive to the needs of all of the people it serves. 

If you are interested in serving on the MAB and feel you have experience in: analyzing and providing informed, nuanced advice on sensitive and complex issues in a large organization; and the interpretation and application of legislation, regulations and policies, I encourage you to apply to be a member. Additional criteria and appointment opportunities to the MAB can be found at the following link: Governor in Council - Appointment Opportunities.

I hope that this website will help you have a better understanding of the role and work done by the MAB.

Kent Roach, C.M., F.R.S.C.
