Previously located on the third floor of Greater Sudbury Police Service headquarters, the museum is now situated on the main floor of 128 Larch St.
The Sudbury Region Police Museum is reopening in their new digs at 128 Larch St. on May 15, with a grand opening to take place from 5-7 p.m.
The museum’s exhibits follow the history of policing, with the first town constable, Frank Gagne, appointed in 1891. Along with policing, he inspected chimneys and stovepipes in the area. Call boxes, for example, were installed throughout the city in 1963 so police officers could check into headquarters without going all the way back to the station.
