The Royal Canadian Mounted Police
enforces throughout Canada laws made by, or under, the authority
of the Canadian Parliament. Administration of justice within
the provinces, including enforcement of the Criminal Code, is
part of the power and duty delegated to the provincial governments.
The RCMP provides police services under the terms of policing
agreements to all provinces (except Ontario and Quebec), Yukon,
Nunavut and Northwest Territories, and under separate municipal
policing agreements to 198 municipalities. The
RCMP participates in peacekeeping efforts and supplies world-leading
expertise in areas like forensics and criminal intelligence
to Canadian and international police. For information on
