At the Museum by Jason Wiggins
Most of the material on display is memorabilia showing that development of police work over time; uniforms, badges, medals, motorcycles and a squad car. The museum also gives information about the structure and function of the contemporary police force; what the Transit and Housing and numerous other divisions are and what they do. The museum also has an interesting exhibit about modern forensic science. A visit to the Police Museum should only take half an hour to an hour and is interesting mainly as a curiosity stop if you’re in the area. Last Modified January 2001 |
