Originally known as the Constabulary Force of Newfoundland, the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (RNC) has a long history of policing in Newfoundland and Labrador. Its roots extend to the early 1800's when constables were assigned, as part of an organizational Constabulary, to St. John's, Harbour Grave and other populated towns in the Colony. 2, record 1, English, - Royal%20Newfoundland%20Constabulary

The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (RNC) is the provincial police force of the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. The RNC dates back to 1729, with the appointment of the first police constables. In the 19th century, the RNC was modeled after the Royal Irish Constabulary with the secondment in 1844 of Timothy Mitchell of the Royal Irish Constabulary to be Inspector General, making it the oldest civil police force in North America. 3, record 1, English, - Royal%20Newfoundland%20Constabulary
