Royal Canadian Mounted Police R.C.M.P./G.R.C. Patch. Post-1976.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) or Gendarmerie royale du Canada (GRC) is the national police service of Canada.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police was formed in 1920 by the amalgamation of the Royal North-West Mounted Police (RNWMP) and the Dominion Police.
The RCMP is commonly known as the Mounties in English (and colloquially in French as la police montée).
Heraldic Badge of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police:
Blazon: A roundel Bleu Celeste charged with a bison’s head caboshed proper, within an annulus Azure edged and inscribed with the Motto in letters Or, environed by maple leaves Vert and ensigned by the Royal Crown proper resting on a scroll Azure inscribed CANADA in letters Or.
Symbolism: The Royal Crown, the maple leaves and scroll with “Canada” represent service to Canada of this police force created to uphold the Crown’s peace, and have been present, together with the bison’s head, from the first use of the badge, c. 1876. The crown also relates to the permission given by King Edward VII in 1904 to use the word “Royal” in the force’s name, and to signify that the reigning monarch is the Honorary Commissioner. The bison alludes to the prairie grasslands where the police force performed their first duties, the early members of the police force depending on the animals for food, fuel, and clothing. Royal blue is a colour traditionally associated with police forces.
Motto: Blazon MAINTIENS LE DROIT; Symbolism: This French phrase means “uphold the right”, or alternately, “maintain the right” and “defend the law”. In a slightly different form (“Maintien le droit”), this motto was previously used by the Grand Trunk Railway Regiment from c. 1866 to 1881, and later by the North-West Mounted Police.
