Royal Canadian Mounted Police

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) is Canada's national police force, known for its distinctive red uniform and wide-brimmed hat. Established in 1873, the RCMP is responsible for enforcing federal laws, maintaining peace, and providing community policing across Canada. While it serves small rural communities and large cities alike, it also plays a role in immigration and border security. The RCMP has become an iconic symbol of Canada, representing both law enforcement and national heritage, and is recognized internationally for its commitment to service and community engagement.
