U Kanadi postoje tri nivoa policijskih
snaga: općinske, provincijske i državne. Ustavno gledano, osiguranje reda
i zakona je obaveza provincija, ali su one te ovlasti prenijele na mnoge
gradove i zajednice gradova. Sve provincije, osim njih tri, su svoje
ovlasti prenijele na federalne snage, na Kraljevsku kanadsku konjičku
policiju RCMP. Newfoundland je jedna od provincija sa vlastitom policijom,
ali su one odgovorne samo za veće gradove, dok je sklopila ugovor sa RCMP-om
za očuvanje reda u ostalim dijelovima provincije. Kraljevska kanadska
konjička policija, poznata kao "Konjanici" (Engleski Mounties) je jedina
policijska služba sa ovlastima za sva tri nivoa. Tri provincije sa svojim
snagama su: Ontario sa Provincijskom policijom Ontarija, Quebec sa
Provincijskom policijom Quebeca te Newfoundland sa Kraljevskim
Newfoundlandskim redarstvenicima. Manje kanadske zajednice (sela, općine, manji gradovi) često prepuštaju (ugovorima) svoje ovlasti
provincijskim ili federalnim snagama, dok veći gradovi održavaju svoju
vlastitu policiju. |

In
Canada,
there are three levels of police forces: municipal, provincial, and
federal. Constitutionally, law enforcement is a provincial responsibility,
although most urban areas have been given the authority by the provinces
to maintain their own police force. All but three provinces in turn
contract out their provincial law enforcement responsibilities to the
Royal Canadian Mounted
Police, the federal police force. |
Newfoundland
is one of the provinces with its own provincial police force but that
force is only responsible for the larger urban areas. The province has
contracted the RCMP to patrol the rest of the province. The RCMP,
colloquially known as Mounties, is the only police force to service all
three levels.
Ontario,
Quebec
and Newfoundland maintain their own provincial police forces: The
Ontario Provincial
Police,
Sûreté du Québec
(Quebec Provincial Police) and
Royal Newfoundland
Constabulary. Smaller Canadian
municipalities often contract police service from the provincial policing
authority, while larger ones maintain their own force. |

SOME STATISTICS
MALO STATISTIKE
|

U 05. 2007. Kanada je imala 64.134
policajca, što predstavlja 195 policijskih službenika na 100.000
stanovnika. Vrhunac je bio 1975, kada su imali 206 policajaca na 100.000
stanovnika. Iako današnji broj policajaca predstavlja vrhunac u zadnjih 12
godina, Kanada ipak zaostaje za Sjedinjenim Državama Amerike (230 na
100.00), Australijom (222) te Engleskom sa Wallesom (262). Gledano po
provincijama, Saskatchewan ima najveći broj 207 na 100.000, a ta je
provincija u 1997. "držala" nacionalni rekord u broju kriminalnih
djela. Najmanji broj policajaca imaju Otoci Princa Edwarda, Newfoundland
and Labrador te Alberta. |

As of May 2007, Canada had 64,134 police officers,
or 195 per 100,000 people. Canadian police strength reached a peak in
1975, when there were 206 officers per 100,000 people. Although the
current number reflects a significant rise in the total police strength in
the country (the highest in 12 years after steady declines in the 1980s
and 1990s), Canada still lags behind the
United States
(230 per 100,000),
Australia
(222), and
England
and
Wales
(262). Provincially,
Saskatchewan
had the highest number at 207 officers per 100,000 and the province has
also held the national record for the highest crime rate since 1997. The
lowest numbers were in
Prince Edward Island,
Newfoundland and
Labrador and
Alberta |
