Who serves as provincial police in provinces without their own provincial police?

  1. RCMP

  2. Ontario Provincial Police

  3. Surete du Quebec

  4. Canada Border Services Agency

The correct answer is: RCMP

In provinces without their own provincial police, the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) serves as the provincial police force. This is because the RCMP is the federal police force for all of Canada, and is responsible for enforcing federal laws as well as serving as provincial and municipal police in areas where there is no local police force. The other options, the Ontario Provincial Police, Surete du Quebec, and Canada Border Services Agency, are all specific to their respective regions and do not serve as provincial police in other provinces.
