Assistant Commissioner (A/Commr.) Joanne Crampton, Rtd., M.O.M., retired from the RCMP in 2019 with 31 years of service. During the course of her career, she served in high-profile and senior operational, administrative, and executive leadership roles.

As a senior police leader working coast to coast, A/Commr. Crampton assisted communities to build resilience through crime prevention and community safety.

She has testified on various public safety issues before Senate and Parliamentary Committees, providing a policing perspective to decision-makers responsible for amending and implementing legislation. She also testified at the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls Inquiry on the issue of human trafficking, providing subject matter expertise on the policing response as well as the impact this crime has on the victims, their families, and the community.

Since her retirement, A/Commr. Crampton has worked with the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) as a Senior Policing Consultant in Canada's response to the pandemic. She provided enforcement guidance and advice, acting as a liaison between PHAC and multiple policing and public safety agencies across the country.

A/Commr. Crampton is a recipient of the RCMP Long Service and Good Conduct Medal, a Commanding Officer’s Commendation, and in 2015 was appointed as a Member of the Order of Merit of the Police Forces for her service to the community and leadership in policing. In 2018, she was a visiting fellow on an executive leadership program in Canada and Hong Kong and has since been a visiting fellow in Australia providing mentoring to leaders in policing and emergency services. She currently works for Deloitte Canada as a Senior Advisor in Security & Justice, supporting their work in public safety and policing with one of their priorities being community safety & well-being.
