A little about our museum

Ranked one of the best police museums in the world by the International
Police Association, The Vancouver Police Museum and Archives is a small
independent museum run by the Vancouver Police Historical Society, a
non-profit charitable organization. The Museum’s foundations began in
celebration of the Vancouver Police Department’s centennial anniversary in
1986 and have since expanded its mandate beyond the blue lens of local law
enforcement to include the history of the Vancouver Coroner’s Services and
the historic City Analyst Laboratory that houses the Museum.

Nestled in the heart of old Vancouver, perfectly located across from the
provincial courts, the Vancouver Jail and the VPD's Beat Enforcement Team’s
headquarter the Police Museum weaves a narrative of Vancouver’s less known
past while providing an open and safe space for dialogue on topics related
to law, law enforcement and the sciences of crime and death investigation.
