HHU was established in 2007 under the organization’s Serious Crimes Branch (SCB) to review, assess, prioritize, and investigate unsolved historical homicides in RCMP jurisdiction across the province. In 2020, the HHU secured funding for a federally-funded investigator to support the recommendations of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. This investigator will assist with the completion of case summaries, assist in MMIWG investigations, and support the Provincial Family Information Liaison Unit as they work with families of murdered and missing women.
