It also provides police services under contract to eight of Canada's provinces, all three of Canada's territories, more than 150 municipalities, and 600 Indigenous communities. A saddle forms the handle of the jug. The Canadian Mountie jug is known in five sizes with this being the largest. The other sizes stand 5 1/4", 4", 3 1/2" and 2 1/2" tall.
