Policing Canada's CenturyA History of Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police\nAuthor(s): Greg Marquis\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: University of Toronto Press, Canada\nImprint: University of Toronto Press\nISBN-13: 9781487579166, 978-1487579166\nSynopsis\nAlthough the RCMP is often identified as a national symbol, Canadian police history is largely the story of municipal and provincial police forces who have had little influence on popular culture but considerable impact on the lives of Canadians. Municipal police forces predate the Mounties by a generation and first began to articulate their concerns through the Chief Constables Association of Canada (CCAC) in 1905. The development of this little-studied, non-governmental organization, known since the 1950s as the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police (CACP), has been a crucial part of our criminal-justice history.\nThe CACP/CCAC story mirrors the social and intellectual history of policing in twentieth-century Canada.
