Footnote: The Newfoundland Ranger Force was the police force of the Dominion of Newfoundland before its confederation with Canada. It provided law enforcement and other government services to outports for fifteen years. It existed from 1935 to 1949, at which point it was merged into the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). 209 men served as Rangers during its existence, though at any given time the force did not exceed 72 members. The Commission of Government decided to model the Newfoundland Ranger force on the RCMP and not the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary, which at the time were in operation at St. John's. They were responsible for carrying out policies of six government departments:

1. Department of Finance, collection of customs duties and other fees and act as wreck commissioners;

2. Department of Natural Resources, inspection of logging camps, enforcement of game laws, issuing game licences and directing the fighting of forest fires;

3. Department of Public Health and Welfare, issuing relief payments, arranging medical treatment and hospitalization and escorting mental patients to hospital in St. John's;

4. Department of Justice, enforcement of criminal law, investigation of suspicious deaths and in some areas acted as deputy sheriffs;

5. Department of Home Affairs and Education, acted as truant officers and organized adult education programs; and

6. Department of Public Utilities, supervising the maintenance and construction of public roads, wharves and breakwaters.
