Visitors have to go through security before entering the Toronto Police Museum on the ground floor of the force’s headquarters on College Street. The dimly-lit museum is a series of three exhibition galleries connected by snaking slopes. Admission is free.

The first gallery exhibits police uniform, badges, and standard issue equipment. The second gallery tells the tales of high crimes and grand thefts. The last gallery is a road safety education centre and a memorial to police who died in the line of service.

I recommend no more than 30 minutes, nearby Queen’s Park is much more interesting.
