a month agoIt's a considerably good museum with quite a lot of things to look at if you are into police history and guns. However you'll have to bring your own flashlight if you ever want to have a good look at the displays or read anything as this place offers terrible lighting. It's almost intentionally dark as it's consistent throughout the entire museum galleries.

2 months agoSurprised to find out that our Police has a museum! This place has been underrated and I guess few people know about it. I highly suggest a visit, as it is very informative and has each state’s police history as well.

2 months agoThe museum trip experience and the variety of exhibit on display is relatively great considering the free entrance (you may also donate). The display hall is also very comfortable to walk through.
Recommended especially for kids and those who like to learns about the history of the local police force. -
