This is another geocache in my Superhero Series, but this one highlights a bit of history about the Canadian police force, our men and women in blue.
Bring your own pen. You must sign the log to claim the find.
The first signs of any Canadian legal traditions can be traced back all the way to 1651, when Quebec City adopted a watchman system modelling that of various cities in France. During the same time, Ontario (formerly known as Upper Canada) fashioned its own legal system after English traditions, establishing a constabulary and a watch-and-ward system. While both Upper Canada and Quebec City followed different law enforcement traditions for several years, after 1759, the English system was imposed on French areas.
In 1835, Toronto established a police department based on England’s Metropolitan Police Act and both Quebec and Montreal followed the city’s lead shortly after in 1838 and 1840. And finally, provincial police forces were established for Eastern Canada’s rural areas in 1867.
