The federal police force of Canada, originally instituted (1873) to establish law and order between the Manitoba border and the Rocky mountains. In the 1900s, it tracked down murderers, horse thieves, and desperadoes, contained the Sioux Indians, and assisted thousands of new settlers unfamiliar with the wilderness. It is the only police force in the Yukon and Northwest Territories. In the 1930s, the marine and air divisions, and the first crime detection laboratories were added. Its many duties include ceremonial parades and national security.
