What does RCMP mean?
RCMP is the acronym for “Royal Canadian Mounted Police”. The RCMP is Canada’s federal police. They have jurisdiction (authority to act) across the entire country. The RCMP has a database of individuals who have been charged with crimes by local police agencies. The local police agencies send a copy of this information to the RCMP. The RCMP then assigns a FPS# (fingerprint section) to the name and date of birth of the individual and puts their fingerprints on file.
