| | North-West Mounted Police - A Tradition in Scarlet - History of Major Posts |
 | | The fort, complete with stockade, barracks rooms, stable, guard room, cook house, ice house, workshops, corral and parade grounds served the men well, and was expanded as Fort Saskatchewan grew in importance. |
 | | Edmontonians wanted the NWMP post in their own town of course; Jarvis chose his site based on the expected route of the railway and to avoid Hudson's Bay Company lands. |
 | | From Fort Saskatchewan, policemen were sent to outposts at Edmonton, Red Deer, Wetaskiwin, St. Albert and Victoria. |
