Abbotsford Police Department is the police force for the City of Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada.

The mission of the Abbotsford Police Department is to make Abbotsford the safest city in British Columbia.

The force is divided into six branches: Patrol, Criminal Investigation, Finance and Budget, Human Resources, Operations Support, and Support Services.
