British Columbia Provincial Police

A provincial Police Force was formed on November 19, 1858, at Fort Langley, B.C., to provide organised law enforcement throughout the newly-formed Crown Colony of British Columbia. The various elements of this Force became the British Columbia Provincial Police in 1871, when British Columbia entered Confederation. A Marine Division was created in 1923 and a new uniform, rank and insignia adopted in 1924. In 1950, the constabulary was absorbed into the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
