The Alberta Provincial Police (APP) was a police force active in Alberta, Canada between 1917 and 1932. In 1917, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) left Alberta due to a lack of sufficient resources in light of its increased responsibilities for national security during World War I.[1] It was replaced by the newly created APP, which existed until 1932, when it was eliminated as a cost-cutting measure during the Great Depression.[2]
