The RCMP are the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the national police force of Canada, established in May of 1873. Originally named the North-West Mounted Police, in 1904 the title of "Royal" was conferred upon the North-West Mounted Police by King Edward VII. A second police force, the Dominion Police had been formed by that time and, in 1919, the Force was merged with the Dominion Police and given the name Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

Golden RCMP Detachment is staffed with about 25 members that cover a large area from the Alberta border up to the Roger's Pass summit and down to Highway 95. They are involved with outreach programs which includes Cops for Kids bicycle ride that is held every year.

To log a visit, you must post a photo of you in front of the building described, with your GPS in the photo. No drive by photos.

I have had NO problems with taking photos of Police stations but please respect the fact that some services may be nervous about having their photo taken and inquire as to why... I have found that once things are explained they are more than happy to let me photograph the building, crest, chief... (they are people too!)
