Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP)

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) is Canada’s federal and national law enforcement agency, known for its iconic uniforms and horseback patrols. Established in 1873, it originally aimed to maintain order in western Canada. Today, the RCMP enforces laws at federal, provincial, and municipal levels, addressing various issues like criminal investigations, border security, and immigration enforcement. They symbolize Canadian heritage and culture, often called "Mounties." The RCMP provides policing services to many communities, especially in rural and indigenous areas, ensuring safety and upholding the rule of law across Canada.
