Questions about the RCMP for Canadian Anons

They're probably like marshal in Alaska.
In Alaska they do basically every claim, since there is so few police in Alaska.

Yeah, it seems that even state troopers have a lot of responsibilities and wide jurisdictions in Alaska that troopers in the other 49 don't possess.

I've even heard of a single VPSO officer being responsible for four villages by herself. I can't even imagine the marshals over there.

The RCMP perform many roles. They are like the FBI, ATF, SWAT, Coast Guard and probably a bunch of other shit, rolled into one entity.

The RCMP perform traditional police duties in places that don't have their own local police, which is pretty much most of country except for major cities and Ontario and Quebec (Who have their own Provincial police). But they still have some role no matter where you go. They even provide security for our embassies around the world.

Oh, okay. It's like a whole bunch of law enforcement agencies compressed into one?

I know that I've read about them policing areas that don't have their own local department, but I didn't realize that consisted of most the country.

Since the RCMP are federal police, do you know if they'd technically outrank say... the Ontario Provincial Police? I'd assume the answer is yes, but I felt it worth asking anyway.
