OSH Security Practice Test

The RCMP are

1. Provincial police

2. Federal police

3. Municipal police

4. Regional police

The correct answer is: Federal police

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) serves as Canada’s national law enforcement agency, operating at the federal level. This means that they have jurisdiction across the entire country and are responsible for enforcing federal laws. They are involved in a wide range of activities, including community policing, regulatory enforcement, and national security. Their federal designation allows them to work in collaboration with other levels of policing and various government bodies on matters that span beyond provincial or municipal boundaries. Provincial, municipal, and regional police forces operate at different levels of jurisdiction and are responsible for enforcing laws within specific areas, unlike the RCMP, which can operate across all provinces and territories in Canada.
