While attending the 2022 BC Police and Peace Officers’ Memorial Weekend in Victoria, we got a chance to speak with Sgt. Mark McKinnell, President of the Delta Police Association.  Mark has worked in Victoria and Esquimalt during his 21 years of policing but has served the remainder of his time with the Delta Police Department.  Mark grew up in Campbell River, BC but seems to like mainland life more!

Mark and his Delta Police Association executive finalized their collective agreement (CA) in 2022 and he believes Delta members now have the best CA in Canada.  Delta Police officers enjoy a very supportive relationship with their Mayor, Council and Police Board. 

Sgt. McKinnell is currently seconded to CFSEU and specifically the Covert Asset Support Team which provides support to police agencies throughout the province needing help or resources for complex investigations.
