Superintendent Peri Mainwaring appointed new head of North Vancouver RCMP

The North Vancouver RCMP has a new Officer-in-Charge. Superintendent Peri Mainwaring has been appointed to lead the detachment, bringing more than three decades of policing experience with the RCMP.

Mainwaring began her career in Saskatchewan and has served in municipal, provincial and federal roles across the country. Before her latest promotion, she was the Community Programs Officer with the Burnaby RCMP, where she helped strengthen community safety initiatives and led work on mental health and crisis intervention.

Her connection to North Vancouver is longstanding — Mainwaring previously served a decade at the detachment, where she worked to build relationships with diverse local communities. She also played a key role in developing mobile crisis intervention teams in both Burnaby and North Vancouver, aimed at improving emergency response for individuals experiencing mental health crises.

A longtime North Vancouver resident, Mainwaring raised her family in the community and says she looks forward to continuing to serve the region she calls home.
