MAPLE RIDGE — Mounties have now promoted an inspector to be the autonomous Maple Ridge detachment’s first-ever officer-in-charge.

The now-Superintendent Martin Guay has been with the RCMP for 20 years and has worked in a variety of roles across the organization, most recently as Operations Officer for the Maple Ridge RCMP in 2023.

His experience also includes serving as “E” Division Gold Commander for provincial wildfire and emergency responses, working in internal investigations, and as the LMD District Advisory Non-Commissioned Officer and the Sunshine Coast RCMP Detachment Commander.

“Being selected as the Detachment Commander for the Maple Ridge RCMP is a proud moment for me,” said Supt. Guay. “I’ve worked in this area for three years now and know just how special this community is.”

“Superintendent Guay’s strong understanding of detachment operations in Maple Ridge, combined with his active involvement in the community, makes him well suited to continue in this leadership role,” said Assistant Commissioner Elija Rain with the Lower Mainland District.

Guay also holds a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science from the University of Montreal and a Social Science college diploma from Collège de Maisonneuve in Quebec.

He spends his free time in the soccer field with his wife and two daughters, as well as making homemade crepes with his uncle’s maple syrup from Quebec.
