One of the best museums we visited in Regina, the RCMP Heritage Centre afforded a fascinating glimpse into the unique blend of Canadian heritage and westward expansion history with modern policing methods and equipment.
We have never seen a police and history museum like this one - it's breathtaking and fascinating, with something for everyone.
Static displays of equipment entertain folks who are into vehicles. Historical artifacts populate comprehensive and very well done exhibits that chronicle the history of the RCMP and its key figures.
We were especially interested in the history of the RCMP units in various wars, where RCMP Mounties converted to soldiers, and back again to police after their service commitments were met.
Interactive exhibits cover modern policing methods and science, such as forensics and anti-terrorism missions. And the tram tour that is included with admission gives insight into the training and commitment required of a flexible, modern, multi-threat policing agency.
We spent about 3 hours here - much longer than we had anticipated. That's the level of quality and presentation here. This is one of the best museum and historic attractions in Regina, and we highly recommend it to anyone.
