Biographical history
From 1892-1896 there was a seasonal detachment of North West Mounted Police at Athabasca Landing, living in tents and enforcing liquor prohibition. A permanent presence was started in 1897, continued to 1900, and re-opened in 1901. In 1917 the Alberta Provincial Police took over policing duties in Alberta and continued until 1932 when the Royal Canadian Mounted Police resumed the job.
