The RCMP are

  1. Provincial police

  2. Federal police

  3. Municipal police

  4. Regional police

The correct answer is: Federal police

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) are indeed classified as federal police. This is because they're a federal law enforcement agency that is responsible for enforcing federal statutes, maintaining peace and order, preventing and investigating crimes, and providing various policing services to Canadian provinces and territories that do not have their own provincial police forces. Essentially, the RCMP serves as the federal and national law enforcement agency of Canada. Therefore, they operate under the authority of the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness at the federal level, which differentiates them from provincial, municipal, or regional police agencies, which operate under the authority of their respective jurisdictions.
