them?
The RCMP was
originally called North-
West Mounted Police,
which was formed in
1873.
In 1920, it was renamed the Royal
Canadian Mounted Police. In the past,
horses were used as a means of
transport by the police in Canada.
Now, various modern facilities are
used instead. The official motto of the
force is ‘Uphold the right’.
