Feel what it’s like to walk in the shoes of law enforcement. Set in a stunning, all new museum, hear the untold stories that shaped our nation.
Explore engaging, interactive exhibits that give a first-hand experience of what life in law enforcement is really like — the ultimate law enforcement experience you won’t find anywhere else. Right in the heart of our nation’s capital.
Over a decade of planning and persistence in the making, the National Law Enforcement Museum will open its doors to the public this Fall. Finally, citizens and law enforcement professionals from diverse perspectives and backgrounds will have a place to share in the vibrant story of American law enforcement.
The Museum’s befitting location at Judiciary Square in our nation’s capital marks the first time a national museum dedicated to telling the story of American law enforcement will have a permanent home.
Within the walls of the Museum’s strikingly contemporary exterior, artifacts from our collection of more than 20,000 objects tell the story of American law enforcement – past, present, and future – and engage visitors of all ages in memorable, immersive and experiential exhibits. More importantly, we’re proud that the Museum will serve as a platform for constructive dialog to help strengthen relationships between law enforcement and the communities they serve.

As a former law enforcement professional, the creation of this Museum makes me proud. Even though I’ve been on the job for less than a year, the positive feedback about the Museum has been overwhelming. This Museum offers a meaningful opportunity to help citizens understand the role of law enforcement by providing a ”walk in the shoes” experience in the history of law enforcement, its current practices and what the future may hold.
I want to thank you for accompanying us on this long journey and I look forward to seeing you when the Museum opens this fall.
Sincerely,
Are you a current or retired law enforcement officer?
