The North West Mounted Police (NWMP) was created in 1873. The territory it was intended to police includes what is now Alberta and Saskatchewan.
An area that size can not be policed effectively out of one central office. Therefore, the NWMP had to divide its territory into smaller areas that were "detached" from headquarters.
Commissioner George French commanded the entire police force of approximately 275 officers and men. The 900 mile Great March West of Mounted Police left Fort Dufferin on July 8, 1874.
The first "detachment" from the Great March occurred at Roche Percée (near present-day Estevan) on July 29, when most of "A" Division separated from the main column to establish a detachment at Edmonton, routing via Fort Ellice. "A" Division was under command of Col. W. D. Jarvis.
