Discuss the role of the RCMP today

What will be an ideal response?


Today, the RCMP performs functions beyond their original national mandate. They function as the provincial police in all the provinces, except for Ontario and Quebec. Eight of the provinces, three of the territories, and a few municipalities have opted to contract with the RCMP for police services (Terrill 1999: 118-119). Although both the American and Canadian police have their roots in their English heritage they have taken separate paths in their police structure. No organization such as the RCMP exists in the United States.
