Before 1963, the Sarawak Constabulary was the name of the force which guarded local law and order.
In 1963, the Sarawak Constabulary joined the Malayan Police Force to form the Royal Malaysia Police.

Almost a year after Independence Day, on 24 July 1958, the King of Malaysia, Tuanku Abdul Rahman Ibni Almarhum Tuanku Muhamad, bestowed the title Royal to the Malayan Federations Police Force.

 In 1963, the Royal Federation of Malayan Police (RFMP), the North Borneo Armed Constabulary and the Sarawak Constabulary were merged to form the Royal Malaysia Police.

The Singapore Police Force became a component unit of the RMP until Singapore's independence in 1965.
