Ontario Provincial Police

The Ontario Provincial Police Museum, located in Orillia, Ontario, is dedicated to preserving and interpreting the history of policing in the province since the formation of Upper Canada in 1791. Specializing in the material culture of the Ontario Provincial Police since 1909, the museum aims to make its collections accessible to both members and the general public, ensuring the stewardship of its artifacts for future generations.

Funded by the Ontario government and administered by the Ontario Provincial Police, the museum collaborates with the Friends of The OPP Museum, a nonprofit organization that supports its mission. Together, they work to celebrate and communicate the rich material and cultural heritage of the Ontario Provincial Police, which has played a significant role in the development of the province for over a century.
