Quebec City, June 18, 2026 \u2014 Accompanied by Quebec Liberal Party leader Charles Milliard, Mr. Charles Hudon was officially nominated as the candidate for the Vanier\u2013Les Rivi\u00e8res riding.<\/p>\n
A native of Jonqui\u00e8re, Charles Hudon has lived in the Lebourgneuf neighborhood in the Vanier\u2013Les Rivi\u00e8res riding since 2014. Until recently, he served as deputy director of the Criminal Investigations Division (financial crimes and cybercrime) at the S\u00fbret\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec.<\/p>\n
Charles Hudon holds a master\u2019s degree in administration from the Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0 Trois-Rivi\u00e8res (UQTR), in collaboration with the \u00c9cole nationale de police du Qu\u00e9bec, and has nearly 28 years of experience with the S\u00fbret\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec. His career has taken him into several areas: local law enforcement, human resources, strategic management, and major criminal investigations.<\/p>\n
Having begun his career as a patrol officer in the Saguenay Fjord and Lotbini\u00e8re RCMs, he rose through the ranks of Quebec\u2019s largest police force, working in areas such as criminal intelligence, organized crime, and major crimes. He will eventually be promoted to inspector in 2017, then appointed as deputy director in 2023 for financial crimes and cybercrime.<\/p>\n
His professional career was marked by several high-profile cases, including Operation DANSEUR, which he led in 2014 to track down three fugitive murderers who had escaped from the Quebec City detention center by helicopter. In April 2025, he was one of the architects of Project NOVA, involved in a vast global operation aimed at neutralizing fraudulent users of the LabHost cybercrime platform.<\/p>\n
In addition to his career as a police officer, Charles Hudon has been a lecturer at UQTR for more than a decade; he also served as a lecturer at Ellis College in Drummondville from 2005 to 2015. His commitment to education reflects his interest in young people and the next generation, which are at the heart of his priorities.<\/p>\n
Charles Hudon is actively involved in his community, having volunteered on the parent committees at Acad\u00e9mie Saint-Louis for over 11 years, in addition to serving on its board of directors. He also volunteers as a transporter for Transplant Qu\u00e9bec. A distinguished police officer, he was awarded the Police Medal for his service in February 2019 and received the King Charles III Coronation Medal in 2024, presented by the Lieutenant Governor, for his commitment as an aide-de-camp and ambassador for the institution.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cIt is a great honor for me to run as a candidate for the Quebec Liberal Party under the leadership of Charles Milliard. I have 28 years of experience in Quebec\u2019s largest police force, which has given me an understanding of the on-the-ground challenges related to public safety throughout Quebec. I am deeply committed to several issues, including the fight against fraud targeting vulnerable people and public institutions\u2014fraud that ultimately deprives the government of additional resources needed to improve the delivery of public services. \u201cI\u2019m really looking forward to getting back out on the ground to meet with voters in Vanier\u2013Les Rivi\u00e8res, and I\u2019ll be working tirelessly over the coming months to earn their trust on October 5!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2014 Charles Hudon, QLP candidate in Vanier\u2013Les Rivi\u00e8res<\/p>\n
\u201cWith his professional experience in several regions of Quebec as a patrol officer, investigator, manager, and teacher, Charles Hudon\u2019s candidacy embodies the commitment to revitalizing the regions that we at the Quebec Liberal Party wish to promote. His in-depth knowledge of public safety issues in Quebec and his ability to explain complex topics in layman\u2019s terms will be valuable assets to our Liberal team. Charles Hudon\u2019s announcement adds to the list of candidates we have presented in recent weeks in the greater Quebec City area\u2014a region for which we have high hopes ahead of the upcoming elections!\u201d<\/p>\n
