The Vancouver Police Museum & Archives (VPMA) is dedicated to the gathering and sharing of information depicting the history of the VPD, the City Coroner’s Services and City Analyst Laboratory.
VPMA strives to achieve excellence in the areas of collections management, preservation, care and conservation of artefacts and archival materials related to the Vancouver Police Department, the City Coroner’s Services and former City Analyst Laboratory.
VPMA is an independent museum run by the Vancouver Police Historical Society, a registered charity. The museum’s foundations began in celebration of the Vancouver Police Department’s centennial anniversary in 1986 and have since expanded beyond the blue lens of local law enforcement to include the history of the Coroner’s Court building that houses the museum.
