Long before cruiser cars were used by the Winnipeg Police, the department purchased motorcycles to patrol the city. The motorcycle officers responded to calls that were dispatched over the call-box system.\u00a0In 1910 the first motorcycles were purchased from the Indian Motorcycle Company. In pictures on display they look very much like large bicycles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> From 1925 to the 20th century, the Winnipeg Police Museum is home to several vehicles retired from the Winnipeg Police Service. Vehicles are both on display and for use in special events such as parades, outdoor displays, and festivals.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t The completely restored Harley Davidson Servi-car was used mainly for parking patrol and is on display in the Museum.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t This restored Harley Davidson with Sidecar was the last motorcycle to operate in the winter in the early 1980s and is on display in the Museum.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t The last black and white to patrol in Winnipeg<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\tJack Templeman Walks You Through The Collection<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
