The Quebec Provincial Police, known as the Sûreté du Québec (SQ), is the provincial law enforcement agency in Quebec, Canada. Established in 1870, it is responsible for maintaining peace, order, and public safety across the province. The SQ provides policing services to municipalities that do not have their own police forces and handles various law enforcement duties, including traffic control, criminal investigations, and emergency response. The SQ is organized into several divisions, each focusing on specific areas such as organized crime, drug enforcement, and public safety. Officers are trained to handle a wide range of situations, ensuring the safety of residents and visitors in Quebec. The agency also collaborates with other law enforcement bodies to address regional and national security issues.
