Here are a few of the photos in the Musée de la police collection.

1815: The uniform of the Bazouelles

1845: Uniform (the billy stick is now worn on the belt)

1873: Sub-sergeant proudly wearing his uniform

1885: Constable armed with his billy stick

Circa 1920: Police motorcyclist formation, at Parc Lafontaine

1937: The Service de police de Montréal’s first radio-car. Note: the radio could receive calls but could not confirm receipt or respond verbally.

1967: Mounted police officer in full regalia, at Expo 67 (World international fair in Montréal)

Motorcycles with side-cars were part of the police scenery until the early 1980s. Because they were much more stable, these motorcycles could be used all year round.
