Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP)

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) is the national police force of Canada, responsible for enforcing federal laws and providing policing services across the country. They often collaborate with international law enforcement agencies. The RCMP is newsworthy due to its involvement in the case of Ryan Wedding, a former Canadian Olympic snowboarder accused of being a drug kingpin. Wedding was arrested after years on the run, thanks to a joint effort between the FBI and the RCMP. He faces multiple charges, including drug trafficking, conspiracy to murder, witness tampering, and money laundering, related to his alleged leadership of a large-scale drug trafficking organization. The RCMP's collaboration with the FBI highlights the international nature of drug trafficking and the importance of cross-border cooperation in combating organized crime.
