The Quebec City Police Service (, SPVQ) is the municipal police force of Quebec City, Quebec, Canada, and the neighbouring municipalities in the urban agglomeration of Quebec City.
History Quebec has had some level of policing since 1651, but a modern force was not established until 1843 under the leadership of Robert Henry Russell.
The current force was created from the merger of five separate police forces into the existing Quebec City police force in 2002.
Operations SPVQ operations consists of four stations covering 6 Boroughs:

There are plans to reduce the number of stations to two:
consolidate stations serving La Cité-Limoilou, Les Rivières, Charlesbourg, Beauport and La Haute-Saint-Charles into one station out from Lebourgneuf with a smaller sub station l'édifice F.-X. Drolet de Saint-Roch serving the city centre. Sainte-Foy–Sillery–Cap-Rouge would maintain a dedicate station.
