Scope and content:

Show detail Hide detail

Sub-series consists of operational records created by A Division and contain routine investigation information relating to occurrences investigated by the RCMP, or to unsubstantiated information being evaluated to determine if it relates to an actual occurrence. The files were created in the normal course of business for the RCMP. They are assigned a four digit alpha-numeric code, called an OSR code which classifies a case by the most serious offence arising from an occurrence. The records include occurrence reports and supporting evidence.

Show detail Hide detail

Royal Canadian Mounted Police. A Division : The original force of the NWMP marched west out of Fort Dufferin in July 1874. The "A" division broke off from the main group later that month, headed to Fort Edmonton. In 1875, the division erected Fort Saskatchewan 20 miles down the North Saskatchewan River east of Edmonton. They remained at Fort Saskatchewan for five years. In 1880, the "A" division was reassigned to Fort Walsh, which was then the headquarters of the NWMP. In 1883, Fort Walsh was abandoned and the "A" division was reassigned to nearby Maple Creek. They remained at Maple Creek for 37 years. In 1919, Maple Creek was brought under the new South Saskatchewan district, commanded from Regina by the Depot Division. This only last one year, however. When the RCMP was formed in 1920, the original "A" division was disbanded and folded into the Depot Division. A new "A" division was formed out of troops of the old Dominion Police force and was stationed in Ottawa. The "A" division has policed the National Capital Region ever since, with occasional outposts in Northeastern Ontario and Western Quebec. In 2013, the "A" division was renamed the National Division to reflect their expanded jurisdiction over issues of federal importance, such as the protection of dignitaries and policing of domestic corruption.
