The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) originates back to 1873, when the North-West Mounted Police (NWMP) was formed by an act in Parliament by the Canadian government. It later merged with the Dominion Police, to create Canada's unique national, federal, provincial and municipal policing body. Explore the RCMP's history at the RCMP Heritage Centre in Regina, Saskatchewan.
