The RCMP is Canada's National Police Force.
The RCMP is the national police force of Canada. Canada does not have separate federal law enforcement agencies like the United States. The RCMP performs the missions the FBI would perform in the U.S.
The RCMP are the appointed police force that have jurisdiction for all of Canada.
The RCMP, formally known as the NWMP, were fundamental to Canada taking control of Western Canada and suppressing rebellions from the locals in Canadian colonies. Today they represent the Federal government in many regions of Canada keeping the peace and serving regions that are too small to have their own police force.
So they could add laws to Canada
Because the RCMP, previously known as the RNWMP and the NWMP, were the paramilitary arm of the Confederation. Without them Canada would not have been able to take over Western Canada. After 1919, their role expanded and their name changed to RCMP and they became Ottawa's police force all across the land, though not so much in the original province of Canada.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police are in Canada
Only when the RCMP picks you up.
The RCMP, also known as the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, are the national and federal police force of Canada. They were founded on December 1, 1920 and have a force of about 28,640 officers. They are also known as Mounties.
The RCMP should continue to be Canada's Federal Police Force. It should expand it's international role and presence.
