Police
In Canada, the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary was founded in 1729, making it the first police force in present-day Canada. It was followed in 1834 by the Toronto Police, and in 1838 by police forces in Montreal and Quebec City. A national force, the Dominion Police, was founded in 1868. Initially the Dominion Police provided security for parliament, but its responsibilities quickly grew. The famous Royal Northwest Mounted Police was founded in 1873.
The merger of these two police forces in 1920 formed the world-famous Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
Civilian Review and Complaints Commission for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police
The Civilian Review and Complaints Commission for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (CRCC) is an independent Canadian government agency responsible for examining complaints of improper on-duty conduct of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The Commission was previously known as the Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP (CPC). The CRCC was established as part of the Enhancing Royal Canadian Mounted Police Accountability Act, which amended the existing RCMP Act to enhance accountability mechanisms within the RCMP.
