Wow, I had no idea American police systems were so numerous. In Canada, we have the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police). In most parts of the country, that's it—they do everything, from highway patrol to intelligence. Ontario and Quebec chose to take over from the RCMP for provincial policing matters with their own police services, and many cities have their own police services for local matters, but the RCMP is the national police service and has jurisdiction everywhere.
