Who serves as provincial police in provinces without their own provincial police?

  1. Municipal Police

  2. RCMP

  3. Federal Agents

  4. Private Security

The correct answer is: RCMP

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) serves as provincial police in provinces where there is no designated provincial police force. Municipal police (Option A) are responsible for enforcing the law within their respective cities. Federal agents (Option C) typically work for federal organizations such as the Canadian Border Services Agency or the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Private security (Option D) works for private companies and are not authorized to enforce the law. The RCMP (Option B) has jurisdiction in all provinces and territories across Canada, and its primary role is to enforce federal law throughout the entire country.
