The Nelson Police Department is the police force for the City of Nelson, British Columbia, Canada.
Among the oldest police services in British Columbia, the force came into being as a municipal police force on April 17, 1897. The initial force only consisted of a Chief Constable and one Constable. Over the years of its existence, the Nelson Police Department has grown from two to twenty members.
