Legislation creating the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) came into effect on February 1, 1920. However, the roots of the RCMP go back more than 50 years prior to that date.

The creation of the RCMP involved merging the Royal North West Mounted Police (RNWMP) with the Dominion Police.

The RNWMP had originally been created on May 23, 1873. The Dominion Police were created on 22 May 1868, as a result of the amalgamation of the Western Frontier Constabulary and the Montreal Water Police (a mounted force). Both had been established in pre-Confederation days, the Constabulary in 1864 and the Water Police in 1849.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police is Canada's national police force. They enforce federal law and investigate criminal activity throughout Canada. In addition, they provide local policing in many smaller cities and rural areas that don't have separate, local police forces.
