The Military and Mounted Police collection includes an extensive collection of artifacts relating to Canadian military history, with an emphasis on southern Alberta.
In addition, the museum's collection also includes a number of European and Japanese armour, arms, and firearms and other weapons from around the world.
The Military and Mounted Police collection has been sorted into the following categories, Arms and Armour, Canada at War, Famous People and Battles, Firearms, and Mounted Police.

The Arms and Armour portion of the collection features a number of European and Japanese arms and armour.
In particular, the museum's collection of Japanese armour and arms is the largest collection of its kind in Canada.
The collection sorted under Canada at War primarily focuses on the role of Canada, and Alberta, during the North-West Rebellion, World War I, World War II, and the Korean War.
The Mounted Police section includes a number of artifacts relating to the development of the North-West Mounted Police, and its successor, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

The Glenbow's military collection is the most diverse in Western Canada, with 26,000 items.
This includes 2,100 firearms, ranging from the 16th century to present day, in the Firearms section of the Military and Mounted Police collection.
Most of the artifacts from the museum's Famous People and Battles section were artifacts acquired from the Royal United Services Institute.
In June 2008, the Glenbow Museum and the University of Alberta acquired a number of artifacts from Sam Steele, an officer of the North-West Mounted Police, and the commanding officer of the Strathcona's Horse in the Boer War.
60 objects from the Sam Steele collection are on display at the Glenbow Museum.

Many items from the museum's Military and Mounted Police collection are on display at the Warriors: A Global Journey Through Five Centuries exhibition.
The exhibition is a permanent exhibit at the museum which compares cultural approaches to war throughout history.
