About Vancouver Police Museum
The Vancouver Police Historical Society is a non-profit organization and registered charity, established in 1983. The society’s original mandate was to foster interest in the history of the Vancouver Police Department and to create and maintain a museum depicting this history. In 1986, the year of Vancouver’s Centennial celebrations, the Vancouver Police Centennial Museum opened its doors to the public. Today we have broadened our scope and provide fun, and educational programming for children and adults alike, to foster and rekindle peoples love of detective work and forensic science regardless of age, gender or socio-economic background. The museum is located in the 1932 building, formerly the Coroner’s Court on the second floor of 240 E. Cordova Street.
