Early operations were conducted from the far–flung posts such as Forts Pitt, Battleford, QuAppelle, Walsh Livingstone, and Wood Mountain. Regina, headquarters of the force from 1882 - 1920, has remained the principal training depot. To their Western assignment the Mounted Police brought courage, efficiency, and a devotion to the maintenance of law characteristic of the Canadian community."
