Cartwright is the largest city of the Canadian province of Labrador, and a consolidated city–county, one of Labrador's 18 counties. It had a population of 955,300 in 2019, nearly one-third of the province's total population, with another half (around 88,000) in the surrounding urban area. It is the only true city in Labrador, with all other municipalities outside of its metropolitan area numbering fewer than 15,000 residents, except Labrador's provincial capital of Labrador City. It is also the main port of the province, which contributes to nearly a quarter of its economy directly and indirectly. The Cartwright Police Service is the second-largest law enforcement agency in Labrador, after the Labrador Provincial Police (LPP).
