The North West Mounted Police are now the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. They were formed to bring Law and Order to Canada's prairies in advance of the settlers.

-----

The NWMP were Canada's response to those people included in the the purchase of Ruperts Land who did not want to be ruled by Canada and rebelled. "Law and Order" meant suppressing rebellions and establishing Canadian sovereignty by use of force if needed.

That is why they were a para-military force and based on the Royal Irish Constabulary. Most of the original members were from Ontario but that has changed over time.
