The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) is Canada's federal and national law enforcement agency, responsible for enforcing federal laws, maintaining peace across the country, and providing policing services to provinces and territories without their own forces. Established in 1873, the RCMP operates with a distinctive uniform and is known for its Mountie image.

The RCMP collaborates with various jurisdictions and agencies, serving as a symbol of Canadian identity and professionalism in law enforcement nationwide.
