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.
Prince Edward Island Provincial Police
The Prince Edward Island Provincial Police was the provincial policing body for the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island. Formed in 1930 and modelled on the New Brunswick Provincial Police, it was superseded by the "L" Division of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police on May 1, 1932.
