Very cool place to visit. Neighborhood is terrible but you can safely make it. Take your time to visit, listen and read everything.

Great museum. Fascinating and well curated experience. The exhibits are rich with local history, from crime stories to forensic science, and the displays are engaging without feeling overwhelming. It’s a unique look into Vancouver’s past and a great stop for anyone interested in law, policing, or true crime.

I went there around 4 pm yesterday, and I have to say, 1 hour is not enough for me!!! lol
As a big fan of Sherlock Holmes and always wanted to be a criminal investigator, it’s literally so fun and amazing.
The cases room really caught my attention, they even have real victim bones and actual crime tools on display.
I did feel sad reading about the case with the two kids and the family. Especially seeing how tiny the bones were, and even some blonde hair left on the tool 😭

It was very cool to go through the museum learning all the different way the police had done forensic, weapons, transportation and different criminal and crime. We were able to learn a lot and had fun walking around.

Slightly a bit off the way but walkable from the vancouver Chinatown. Here lies the police museum with our short history as well as tools that were used by the police officers to investigate and solve crime. It was an interesting visit if you were into criminology
