During the history of Vancouver’s municipal police force, sixteen officers and eight police service dogs have been killed in the line of duty. The exhibition will reflect on how we honour police officers from three perspectives - the commemoration of fallen officers by their fellow officers, by their families, and by the public. This exhibition explores how the memories of these individuals have passed through time and will continue into the future.</span></p><br><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"PT Sans";color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">This exhibition was made possible by the support of the Vancouver Police Foundation. </span></p><br><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"PT Sans";color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">About the museum:</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"PT Sans";color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">The Vancouver Police Museum & Archives is an independent museum run by the Vancouver Police Historical Society, a registered charity.
