Like the police forces in many other large Canadian and American cities, the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) has developed a policy concerning user-pay services. See our conditions and how to request our services.

The SPVM offers a number of services on a fee-per-service basis:

Motor escort

A car or motorcycle escort may be retained for:

• road vehicles
• semi-trailers
• funeral processions
• parades
• valuable cargo
• camera cars

In some cases, certain conditions - such as permits - must be met.

Traffic control 

SPVM officers may direct traffic or close streets temporarily during film, television, or commercial shoots, or for other reasons.

A permit from the Ville de Montréal is mandatory for any of these activities.

Specialized training

Police organizations and some private or governmental organizations may take specialized training from the SPVM staff in widely varied fields of expertise:

• motorcycle unit
• dog squad
• cavalry
• marine patrol
• crisis management
• strategic planning
• etc.
