The Royal Canadian
Mounted Police
was organized in 1873 as a force of 300 men to

Northwest Territory. The effectiveness of this
organization was proved by the quiet and orderly
fashion in which Canada's west became a part of
the nation.
Scotland
Yard
is the headquarters of the Metropolitan Police
Service, which is responsible for policing
Greater London (but not the City of London

palace that belonged to the King of Scotland,
hence its name.
Allan
Pinkerton
was a barrelmaker before accidentally becoming
involved in law enforcement. After helping
capture a ring of couterfeiters, he co-founded a
