Royal Canadian Mounted Police

The bright red uniform jacket and broad-brimmed hat from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police really certainly can be a symbol of Canada recognized all over the planet. The well-known red serge coat, black riding pants with the yellow stripe, and red-banded Stetson aren‘t section of the regular daily uniform for the police officers. The red, white, and black dress uniform is, generally, only worn for civic ceremonies, pr events, celebrations and memorials. 

The RCMP is really a singular organization, since It‘s simultaneously a national, federal, provincial and municipal policing body. They provide total federal policing service to all Canadians. Also under contract to supply policing services to eight provinces (all except Quebec and Ontario ), the 3 Canadian territories, greater than 200 municipal areas, 165 First Peoples communities, plus 3 international airports and many smaller airports. 

The RCMP Academy, Depot Division in Regina, Saskatchewan is training “Mounties” for longer than 120 years. Regardless of the fact they really certainly can be a national police force, all new Royal Canadian Mounted Police recruits undergo basic training in Regina. At 12 : 45 every day visitors can witness the daily Sergeant Major’s Drill upon the Parade Ground. Incidentally, women happen to be members from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police since the very first all-female class graduated coming from the Academy in March 1975.  

Until October 2006, the Academy was also home towards the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Centennial Museum, where visitors could go to obtain a thorough account from the national police force’s history. The Centennial Museum was closed permanently in October 2006 in an effort to begin moving its collections and artifacts towards the new RCMP Heritage Center. 

The $40 million Heritage Center is scheduled to open May 23, 2007. A focal point from the new museum is a ninety-eight foot (30 m ) long three-dimensional sculptural timeline illustrating the roles and tools from the RCMP through the years.
