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.

According to the website of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), its predecessor, the North West Mounted Police (NWMP) was created primarily: "to stop liquor trafficking in the North-west; to gain the respect and confidence of the natives; to collect customs dues; and to perform all the duties of a police force."
The North West Mounted Police (NWMP) is still with us today, just in a different form. In 1904, King Edward VII honoured the NWMP with the Royal prefix, after which they were known as the Royal North West Mounted Police (RNWMP). On February 1, 1920, the Royal North West Mounted Police (RNWMP) was merged with the with the Dominion Police, thereby creating today's Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).
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.

To assert Canadian control over the people included in their purchase of Western Canada. The NWMP was based on the Paramilitary Royal Irish Constabulary because of the similar responsibility, which was to control a hostile and sometimes violent colonised people. The NWMP is today's RCMP.
Well since the NWMP is Canadian and this is Canadian history we are talking about, CANADA HAS PRIME MINISTERS NOT PRESIDENTS!
