Do all provinces have municipal police departments?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only in the capital cities

  4. Only Ontario and Quebec

The correct answer is: Yes

Provinces in Canada are divided into municipal and territorial politics - municipal includes cities, towns, townships, regions, etc. Municipalities are responsible for creating their own police department, which means all provinces have municipal police departments. Option B is incorrect because it implies that there are provinces without municipal police departments. Option C is incorrect because although capital cities may have their own police department, it does not mean that other cities in the province do not have their own. Option D is incorrect because while Ontario and Quebec may have a higher number of municipal police departments compared to other provinces, it does not mean that they are the only provinces with them.
