| Nakon proglašenja Winipega gradom 1873, održani su izbori za gradonačelnika i gradsko vijeće. Oni unajmljuju gradske službenike među kojima i šefa policije. 23. 02. 1874. John S. Ingram postaje prvi gradski policijski šef. Tokom velikog štrajka 1919. preko 2000 policajaca je zamijenjeno jer nisu htjeli potpisati obavezu da neće biti članovi sindikata i da neće stupati u štrajk. Na njihova mjesta su primljeni novi i bolje plaćeni ljudi. 1972. grad Winnipeg se ujedinjuje sa 8 okolnih zajednica, ali ostaje osam različitih policijskih snaga sa različitim uniformama i radio kanalima. Otkazuju RCMP-u koji su vršili službu u 2 zajednice i 21. 10. 1974. godine spajaju sve policijske službe u jednu, podijeljenu na 6 distrikta. Od 01. 01. 1975. svi policajci počinju nositi istu uniformu sa pripadajućim oznakama i sa motom "Jedan, sa snagom mnogih" | ||

When Winnipeg became a city in 1873, an election was held to select the city's new Mayor and Aldermen. Those appointed decided to hire city officials, including a Chief Constable. On February 23, 1874, John S. Ingram was appointed the first Chief of Police of Winnipeg. During the 1919 Winnipeg General Strike, most of the force was replaced with 2000 better paid special constables for refusing to sign a declaration promising to not belong to a union or participate in a sympathy strike. In 1972, Winnipeg merged with its eight neighboring communities, causing the amalgamation of the communities, but still having eight police services with different uniforms and radio channels. The RCMP contract for Charleswood and Headingly was cancelled, and that area fell under the Inner City patrol area. On October 21, 1974, the amalgamation of the services was complete, and the remaining eight services formed into six districts. On January 1, 1975, all police officers in Winnipeg started to wear the same uniform with matching shoulder flashes that stated, "One, with the strength of many." |
