ROYAL NEWFOUNDLAND CONSTABULARY   KRALJEVSKI POZORNICI NEWFOUNDLAND-a

      Ova policijska služba seže sve do 1729. godine kada su postavljeni prvi policajci. U 19. stoljeću se uglavnom regrutiraju iz redova Irskih kraljevskih pozornika, a i sama Newfoundlandska policija je preustrojena po ugledu na tu službu. Generalnim inspektorom je 1844 imenovan Timothy Mitchell kreirajući ako najstariju policijsku organizaciju u Sjevernoj Americi. I ostali šefovi pristižu iz Irske, kao homas J. Foley koji služi od 1871. do 1873., Paul Carty, je glavni od 1873-1895, a John Roche McGowen, je Generalni inspektor od 1895-1908. Godine 1979. Kraljica Elizabetha II dodjeljuje ovoj službi pridjev "Kraljevska" u znak priznanja za dugogodišnju službu zajednicama Newfoundlanda i Labradora. 03. 05. 2005. se Kraljevski Newfoundlandski pozornici i službeno "bratime" sa policijom Republike Irske (Garda Síochána na hÉireann) kako bi time i službeno obilježili dugogodišnju povezanost ovih dviju službi.

      The RNC dates back to 1729, with the appointment of the first police constables. In the 19th century, the RNC was modelled after the Royal Irish Constabulary with the secondment in 1814 of Timothy Mitchell of the Royal Irish Constabulary to be Inspector General, making it the oldest civil police force in North America. Mitchell served as inspector and superintendent of police until 1871, when the Newfoundland Constabulary was reorganized with a new Police Act. Other officers recruited from the Royal Irish Constabulary to take command of the Newfoundland force included Thomas J. Foley who served from 1871 to 1873, Paul Carty, who headed the RNC from 1873-1895, and John Roche McGowen, who served as constabulary inspector general from 1895-1908. In 1979, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II conferred the insignia “Royal” on the Newfoundland Constabulary in recognition of its long history of service to Newfoundland and Labrador. On May 3, 2005, the RNC made a formal exchange of colours with Garda Síochána na hÉireann to mark the historic links between the two forces.
