From the early days of the night watch in the 1600s to the high-tech criminal investigations of the 21st century, discover a history that has largely gone untold — the history of American law enforcement — a profession that serves a vital and valued role in our society.
The National Law Enforcement Museum will be a hands-on, interactive museum providing an opportunity to walk in an officer's shoes and experience firsthand what it is like to make life-or-death decisions, solve crimes, protect our communities and safeguard our freedoms.
Take a seat in roll call and experience life as a police officer. Amble through the history of law enforcement and witness its evolution with the changing times. Learn to distinguish facts from fiction when comparing the "reel" officers of television and the movies and real officers. Reflect upon the devotion and sacrifice of America's law enforcement heroes in the Hall of Remembrance.
Whether you stay for an hour or spend the entire day, a visit to the National Law Enforcement Museum will be an experience of a lifetime. Young or old, officer or tourist, you will leave with a stronger understanding and renewed appreciation for what it means to be part of America's Finest.
While the doors won't open until 2011, get a preview at what will certainly become a not-to-be-missed museum destination.
