A time capsule on a wall of the new Regina Police Service building

The suitcase-sized object was placed on the wall of the suitcase, connecting the current Regina Police Department building to the new headquarters.

The items in the capsule included, among others, a tunic, a police hat, an orange shirt, a sage, a copy of Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission calls to action and a COVID test kit -19.

Police Chief Evan Bray also wrote to future generations about his hope. He said it is impossible to know what the police will look like in 50 to 100 years. However, he believes there could be more drones and electric cars.

A time capsule is an activity that saves goods and information intended to be communicated to future generations.

According to the Mayor of Regina, this capsule is a reminder of the current functioning of police services to the next generation.

He added that the new headquarters should be completed within six to eight months.

Advances?

Chief Evan Bray’s main hope is that society can help all people struggling with addictions, for example.

He hopes that in a century, those who open the time capsule will see significant improvements in community safety, reduced victimization and support for people with social problems.

There are many other partner organizations and different levels of government that we can work with to try to address some of these social issues. Such as family conflicts that often stem from historical traumahe said.

The current police department building was built in the early 1970s.

It served a city of nearly 100,000 fewer people than it does today. He said he is glad the entire Regina Police Service team will be under one roof when the new headquarters is complete.

Hopefully when the time capsule opens, they can say, “My God, do you believe that 100 years ago they were doing this? Now it won’t happen again. People automatically receive that service, whether it’s supportive housing or counseling of addictions. “
