Provincial police overlooked

It was with keen interest that I began reading the ten-page spread on Canadian criminals and law enforcement in the April-May 2016 issue. After reading the spread, my feeling was disappointment.

Once again, the historical reputation of the RCMP is being enhanced at the expense of the brave sacrifices of the former provincial police forces of Alberta (1917–32), British Columbia (1858–1950), and Manitoba (1870–1932).

None of these historic forces were named. It is little wonder that their impressive law enforcement contributions are quickly disappearing from the record.
