Royal Canadian Mounted Police

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).
