Document Summary
Historically, policing was a community responsibility: every individual was responsible to his or her neighbours. The test of police efficiency is the absence of crime . In 1867, most provinces had amateur police forces. Nwmp: replaced by the royal canadian mounted police (rcmp) In many jurisdictions, the rcmp is also responsible for policing at the provincial and municipal level. There are four levels of policing federal, provincial, municipal, and first nations. Other police services serve specialized functions (e. g. , cp rail has a police force specialized to its needs) The organization of police forces in canada can be complex (e. g. , london has a municipal police force, are covered by the opp, and the rcmp different forces cover different areas of the city) Royal canadian mounted police (rcmp or mounties") Governed by the royal canadian mounted police act (1985) provides the framework for the force"s operations.
