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.
New Brunswick Provincial Police
The New Brunswick Provincial Police was the policing body for the Canadian province of New Brunswick from 1927 to 1932. It was originally established in preparation for the opening of government liquor stores. It was superseded by the "J" Division of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police on April 1, 1932.
