The Royal Canadian Mounted Police,commonly known in English as the Mounties,is the federal and national police service of Canada. As police services are the constitutional responsibility of provinces and territories of Canada,the RCMP's primary responsibility is the enforcement of federal criminal law,and sworn members of the RCMP have jurisdiction as a peace officer in all provinces and territories of Canada. However,the service also provides police services under contract to eight of Canada's provinces,all three of Canada's territories,more than 150 municipalities,and 600 Indigenous communities. In addition to enforcing federal legislation and delivering local police services under contract,the RCMP is responsible for border integrity;overseeing Canadian peacekeeping missions involving police;managing the Canadian Firearms Program,which licenses and registers firearms and their owners;and the Canadian Police College,which provides police training to Canadian and international police services. Despite its name,the Royal Canadian Mounted Police are no longer an actual mounted police service,and horses are only used at ceremonial events.

The Alberta Provincial Police (APP) was the provincial police service for the province of Alberta,Canada,from 1917 to 1932. The APP was formed as a result of the Royal North-West Mounted Police (RNWMP) leaving the prairie provinces during the First World War due to a lack of sufficient resources in light of its increased responsibilities for national security and reluctance to again enforce Prohibition law recently put into effect by the Alberta government after its experience doing so during territorial times. The RNWMP was replaced by the newly created Alberta Provincial Police on March 1,1917,which remained responsible for provincial policing until 1932,when it was eliminated as a cost-cutting measure during the Great Depression. The APP was known for its tumultuous beginning,battles against rum-runners and bootleggers during prohibition in Canada and the United States,as well as its remarkable efficiency and professionalism which endeared the force to Albertans.
