In 1935, the RCMP, collaborating with the Regina Police Service, crushed the On-to-Ottawa Trek by sparking the Regina Riot, in which one city police officer and one protester were killed. Besides the RCMP's new responsibilities in intelligence, drugs enforcement, and immigration, the force also provided assistance to numerous other federal agencies, such as enforcing the residential school system for Aboriginal children. Historians estimate that fully two per cent of the Chinese community was deported between 19, largely under the provisions of the Opium and Narcotics Drugs Act (ONDA). The Chinese community was also targeted because of a perceived link to opium dens. They were especially concerned with Ukrainian groups, both nationalist and socialist. The force was also deeply involved in immigration matters, and especially deportations of suspected radicals. This included the Communist Party of Canada, but also a variety of minority cultural and nationalist groups. The new organization was charged with federal law enforcement in all the provinces and territories, and immediately set about establishing its modern role as protector of Canadian national security, as well as assuming responsibility for national counterintelligence.Īs part of its national security and intelligence functions, the RCMP was responsible for infiltrating any ethnic or political groups that were considered to be dangerous to Canada's existing order. It was merged with the Dominion Police, the main police force for all points east of Manitoba, in 1920 and was renamed as the "Royal Canadian Mounted Police". The force added "Royal" to its name in 1904. Macdonald then renamed the force the North-West Mounted Police (NWMP) when formed in 1873.
However, officials in the United States raised concerns that an armed force along the border was a prelude to a military buildup. The Prime Minister first announced the force as the North West Mounted Rifles.
Reports from Army officers surveying the territory led to the recommendation that a mounted force of between 100 to 150 mounted riflemen could maintain law and order. Macdonald first began planning a permanent force to patrol the North-West Territories after the Dominion of Canada purchased the territory from the Hudson's Bay Company. We were told when we acquired this set that it dated from 1955. ěrown daily tunic also complete with buttons and badges.īoth sets belonged to the same trooper (Corporal) in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police who had served at least ten years and was a sharpshooter of both handguns and rifles. Red tunic with complete with all buttons and badges (sharpshooter rifles and pistols) and corporal chevrons. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP French: Gendarmerie Royale du Canada (GRC), literally 'Royal Gendarmerie of Canada' colloquially known as the Mounties, and internally as 'the Force') is both a federal and a national police force of Canada. Got em all now, ready for framing.Original Items: Only One Set Available. On a side note, just got the last of the patches I needed from Scotland. I have traded with coppers all over the world and it's always done with respect and dignity. Trading is just part of the "brotherhood". I fully expect that my issued Forage cap with my hat badge is in that OPP coppers house being displayed in the same fashion. Everything I have as a result of trading with folks in the field is displayed with honour in my office, or stored to be displayed that way one day. I don't think we're treating the stuff as souviners per se.
RCMP STETSON FOR SALE PATCH
Same funeral that a PC from Ottawa ripped a patch off her tunic for me because I didn't have the new style. I'm in my office right now looking at my OPP stetson that a brother PC asked me to trade for at the last funeral. I disagree about the trading of uniforms though.Īs far as trading patches goes, I'll trade 1 for 1 with anyone in the LE, or a related, field. Police uniforms and issued equipment are not souveniers, there's lots of gitch you can buy and give to friends and family other than issued gear.Īctually, I kinda like his response. I thought it was a bit rude response but true nonetheless. With a dry and sarcastic response the officer says, "Apply to Peel and go through all the training." When I was with Peel Auxiliary we were at a public event and somebody walked up to the officer I was with and asked, where can I get one of the Peel Police shoulder flashes.
