History

The Halifax Police Department was first formed in 1749, although the police department has been operated in an unofficial manner since the first days of settlement. Each ship arriving in the port city of Halifax would appoint one member of the crew to act as a constable responsible for the actions of the crew and passengers on board. The Halifax Police Department became the Halifax Regional Police in 1996 after the amalgamation of the three neighbouring cities of Halifax, Dartmouth, and Bedford became the Halifax Regional Municipality.
