It is difficult to account for all of the members of the Royal Canadian Navy Police services who were fatal casualties or died while on active service. Ship's Corporals, Regulating Staff and Masters At Arms were often recorded by their rank rather than their rating.
The following sailors are known to have served on Naval Police or Regulating Duties. This list will be updated as more information is acquired.
