The force was called Royal North-West Mounted Police during which years?

• A. 1904-1920
• B. 1873-1904
• C. 1920-1930
• D. 1899-1905

Answer: (A)

The period the force carried the name Royal North-West Mounted Police is defined by when the royal designation was granted and when the organization changed again. The Northwest Mounted Police, established in 1873, received the Royal prefix in 1904, becoming the Royal North-West Mounted Police. This name lasted until 1920, when the force merged with the Dominion Police to form the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. So the correct years are 1904 through 1920, the span when the royal title was in use before the RCMP name took over.
