The Museum is still committed to providing hand-sanitizer stations for visitors throughout the facility and as regular protocol, the Museum frequently sanitizes all interactive exhibits, its classroom, and training simulators. Our staff and visitors may choose to continue wearing masks and we ask that everyone respect their decision to do so.
While we’ve kept our collections safe during our closure for public safety, we’ve missed being able to share the stories and artifacts on display with visitors from across the country. In fact, we’ve taken this temporary closure as an opportunity to reflect on our offerings and to craft new and improved experiences for you.
New offerings
- Our first major exhibition, Post 9/11: The Evolution of American Law Enforcement, inspired by the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
- Daily museum highlights tours available on general admission days led by our resident law enforcement museum guides.
- Daily “snapshot” workshops that provide a peek into the Museum’s educational offerings on general admission days.
- A new patrol driving simulator, the only of its kind in the country not housed in a police training academy, which joins our existing decision-making simulator experience.
- Days of the week reserved for private group visits so our team can provide you with the exclusive experience of having the museum to yourself.
