“The RCMP are secret police. Really. “
How secret can you be in a red coat on top of a horse? ;)
“The red coats are not their regular uniform. Those are worn only on state and special occasions. Their regular uniform is - well - like a typical police uniform.”
The red coats and horses are not their regular uniform and mode of transportation. Haven’t been for well over a century. They wear the red coats for ceremonial and state occasions. Their uniforms are typical police uniforms, dark blue and the move from one place to another in cars, like any other police force.
