Royal Canadian Sheriff Service

The Royal Canadian Sheriff Service (RCSS; French: Service royale du chérif du Canada, SRCC) is a federal judicial police force and law enforcement agency under the jurisdiction of the Attorney General of Canada. It is primarily responsible for transporting federal inmates between facilities and to/from court hearings and other appointments, undertaking high-risk threat assessment duties for major national events, providing plainclothes security details to important officials and for air and other transport, and leading nationwide manhunts. Many of its members are much more highly trained than the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), the main federal law enforcement agency of Canada.
