Best Answer

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) was formed in 1873 to maintain Law and Order in newly acquired western territories, combat illegal activities such as bootlegging and smuggling, and to establish a police presence in regions where there was limited law enforcement. The force also played a crucial role in the development and protection of Canada's growing frontier.
