Sret Du QubecThe Sret du Qubec or SQ (meaning "Quebec security or safety," but usually translated as "Quebec Provincial Police or Force") is the provincial police force of Quebec. The Sret du Qubec headquarters are located in Montreal. The force employs roughly 3300 officers. The organization is responsible to provide police service to localities in the province that do not otherwise have municipal or regional police services. Therefore, they are mainly present in small rural and suburban localities and the provincial highways. They also have a mandate to investigate province-wide crimes. Contrary to common belief the Sret du Qubec has fewer officers than the Montreal Police Service. In the early 2000s, the force amalgamated many smaller police services (e.g., Drummondville and Saint-Hyacinthe). See also External link
