RCMP unveils new look for front-line vehicles

OTTAWA, ON, July 20, 2026 /CNW/ -- For the first time in more than three decades, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) is updating the look of its police vehicles. The redesign improves visibility and supports a modern look, ensuring our vehicles remain clearly recognizable as police in every community we serve across the country.

The new look features white doors on a black base, with graphics that emphasize highly-visible, reflective elements to improve recognition in all conditions – day or night, rural or urban, and across Canada's varied climates. The black and white colour scheme draws inspiration from earlier RCMP police vehicle designs, connecting the modern fleet to the organization's long history of serving Canadians as the national police force.

Provinces, territories, and municipalities will have the option to include local identifiers based on regional needs.

The redesigned vehicles will begin appearing on Canadian roads later this summer. The vehicles will roll out gradually as older units are replaced once they reach fleet criteria for replacement, ensuring a cost-effective approach and uninterrupted policing services. During this transition, both the existing and new look vehicles will operate side-by-side.
