Today The Canadian Northwest Mounted Police Are Know As The

Royal Canadian Mounted Police
or the Canadian mounties for short.
==========================
At first, they were known simply as the Mounted Police. Then
they became known as the North-West Mounted Police (NWMP). Later
they became the Royal North-West Mounted Police (RNWMP), but
"Canadian" was not a part of their name until they became the Royal
Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).
