  Royal Newfoundland Constabulary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (RNC) is the provincial police force of the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador and serves alongside the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, which is contracted by the provincial government to provide provincial and community policing services.
In the 19th century, the RNC was modeled after the Royal Irish Constabulary with the secondment in 1844 of Timothy Mitchell of the Royal Irish Constabulary to be Inspector General, making it the oldest civil police force in North America.
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.

The Constabulary had settled down to low-key routine policing, with the members of the force enjoying a position of high regard in the local areas in which they served.
