Who was the first Canadian rcmp officer?

The first Canadian Royal Northwest Mounted Police (RNWMP) officer was Commissioner George Arthur French, who was appointed in 1873. The RNWMP was established to maintain Law and Order in the western territories and to assert Canadian sovereignty. French played a crucial role in the early development and organization of the force. Eventually, the RNWMP became known as the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) in 1904.
