The Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) was one of Ireland's two police forces in the early twentieth century, alongside the Dublin Metropolitan Police. Londonderry (Derry) and Belfast had had their own forces, but problems, especially their involvement in sectarian violence, saw them both disbanded by 1870, and the RIC assumed their duties. It was disbanded in 1922 and replaced by two new police forces; the Garda Síochána in the Irish Free State (now the Republic of Ireland) and the Royal Ulster Constabulary in Northern Ireland. The force was predominantly Roman Catholic, although there were fewer Catholics in the higher ranks. The RIC's policing system influenced the Canadian North West Mounted Police when the Canadian federal government was looking for a plausible way to establish order in the North-West Territories.
