The Vancouver Police Museum | An Arresting Experience!

The Vancouver Police Museum is ranked as one of Vancouver's best museums! Join us on a thrilling journey through the city's history of policing, crime and justice, all the way to its modern-day enforcement and community initiatives. Enter our authentic heritage building and explore the many galleries on the top floor, which include our popular True Crimes exhibit and Behind the Lines traffic exhibit. All around you'll find captivating artefacts and displays to see, including our weapons showcase, interactive crime scene investigation exhibits, the former city morgue and autopsy suite, and historic artefacts unavailable anywhere else in the world. When you're done, swing by the gift shop and find unique police and crime-related souvenirs to remember your visit. Bring your camera too! There are amazing photo opportunities in every room.

Be a cop and a robber in the same day! The Vancouver Police Museum is packed with history and some good interactive stations. The collections of confiscated weapons and crime scene evidence is interesting and a bit shocking. A fun visit, even more if you put on the costumes and get locked into the jail cell. Careful though, the current police station is just across the street!

We ended up spending almost two hours here. It’s situated in the city’s old morgue, which adds a cool element. It’s very informative, interesting, and definitely something to do that’s off the beaten path. Highly recommended!

It was really well done with lots of great displays. Not only police history, but also old morgue and autopsy room for you CSI fans. Couple of great areas for selfies and/or kid pictures. Lots of great info on famous area crimes, Confiscated weapons, K-9 corps, motorcycle cops, etc. We only had 45 mins of parking otherwise we would have stayed longer!

My wife and son loved it. We came here and spent 2 1/2 hours and enjoyed our visit very much! The staff were really friendly and helpful too. I want to go back and go on the walking tour someday.
