Safety

Safety in Canada is usually not a problem, and some basic common sense will be of great help. Even in the largest cities, violent crime is not a serious problem, and few people have been armed. Violent crime does not have to worry ordinary travelers, because it is usually limited to specific neighborhoods and is rarely a random crime. The overall crime rate in Canadian cities remains low, compared to most similar-sized urban areas in the United States and most parts of the world (although violent crime rates are higher than in most Western European cities). The crime rate in western provinces is generally higher than that in eastern Canada, but crime rates are higher in the Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut. There have been several high-profile shooting incidents in public/tourist areas; these incidents have been reported so much by the media, which is related to what they are considered to be very rare incidents.

Canadian police are usually hardworking, honest, and trustworthy people. If you encounter any problems during your stay, even if you just get lost, it's a good idea to approach the police.

There are three main types of police forces in Canada: federal, provincial, and municipal. The Federal Police Force is the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP or "Mounted Police"), exceptQuebecOntarioNewfoundlandwithLabradorIn addition, it has a widespread presence throughout Canada and maintains its own provincial police force. They are the Ontario Police Department (OPP), Quebec Police Department (SQ) and the Royal Newfoundland Police Department. All other provinces and territories (and some rural areas in Newfoundland and Labrador) contract their provincial duties to the RCMP.

As a federal police force, RCD police usually wear regular police uniforms and drive police cruisers when performing their duties. However, a few NLD officials may wear their iconic red uniforms in tourist areas and participate in official activities such as parades. Some RCMP officials participated in elaborate ceremonies such as musical horse riding performances. While wearing full military uniforms, their main function is to promote the image of Canada and the Canadian Mounted Police. Although the RCMP are still police officers and can perform arrest tasks, they are generally not responsible for investigating crime or law enforcement. In some tourist areas such as Ottawa, these two types of RCMP are common. The dual role and dual image of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police as the federal police and tourist attractions may confuse tourists with regard to the functions of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. All RCMP are policemen and have an obligation to enforce the law.

Cities, towns and regions often have their own police forces,TorontoVancouverwithMontrealThe police force is the largest of the three. Some cities also have specialized transit police, who have full police powers. Some quasi-government agencies, such as universities and power companies, also hire private special police. The Canadian National Railway and the Canadian Pacific Railway each have their own police forces. Some indigenous reservations also have their own police forces. The Canadian military police can be found at military bases and other defense-related government facilities.

All three types of police can enforce any type of law, whether it is federal, provincial or municipal. Their jurisdictions overlap. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police can make arrests anywhere in Canada, and the police and municipal police can make arrests anywhere in their province. Canadian federal, provincial and municipal police departments have the power to arrest both on-duty and non-duty police.

In the national capitalOttawaIn the Gatineau area, one can encounter more police jurisdictions than any other area in Canada. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (including ordinary uniform and fully armed), Ontario Police, Ottawa Police, Quebec Police Department, Gatineau Police Department, Military Police Department and OC Transp Special Police Department are all operating in the area. Every police officer The bureaus have different styles of uniforms and police cruisers.

Under no circumstances should you try to bribe police officers because it is a crime and they will enforce the law against them.

If your wallet is robbed by someone unfortunately, the local police will try to help you. Usually, important ID cards are retrieved after this type of theft. In big cities, parked cars can sometimes become targets for opportunistic car smashing and robbery, so try to avoid leaving any belongings in the open view. Due to the high incidence of such crimes, drivers in Montreal and some other jurisdictions may be fined for unlocking their doors or leaving valuables in sight. Before you go somewhere, take down your license plate and check if your license plate is still in place, because some thieves will steal the license plate to avoid being pulled
