Our Mounted Police are regarded as one of the best police units in the world. Granted I may be a bit biased as I am finishing up my Auxiliary Constable training, but that is their reputation.

I have two uncles that are in the RCMP. The RCMP is constantly asked to send advisors to train police forces all around the world.

"Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP)—$10 million

The RCMP sent 20 Canadian police trainers to Jordan to help train Iraqi police officers. Also, a senior Canadian RCMP officer was sent to Baghdad to help develop strategies to strengthen the police sector. This is part of a broader Coalition Provisional Authority effort. Democratic principles, human rights, prohibition against torture, domestic violence, gender issues, rights of children and juveniles are some of the components of the training offered by the Canadian officers."

So apparently someone thinks they're good. I personally believe they have to much power and not enough oversight.
