Royal Northwest Mounted Police Merges with Canadian Police
The Royal Northwest Mounted Police has ceased to exist and merged with the Canadian mounted police. For fifty years the scarlet and gold symbolized law in western Canada, protecting settlers, guiding Indians and Metis, and maintaining order from Hudson Bay to the Arctic. The article recalls patrols, treaties, notable encounters with Sitting Bull and Sioux, and sacrifices of officers in arctic and frontier service, ending with a reflection on the force’s heritage and its replacement by a unified national police.
