The Museum

The mission of the National Law Enforcement Museum is to tell the story of American law enforcement through exhibits, collections, research and education. The Museum dynamically engages the broadest possible audience in this story in an effort to build mutual respect and foster cooperation between the public and the law enforcement profession. By doing so, the Museum contributes to a safer society and serves to uphold the democratic ideals of the U.S. Constitution.

Prohibition was one of this country’s darkest periods for law enforcement. Local, state and federal law enforcement officers were being gunned down in city streets, in the basements of "blind tigers" and in the hills and forests while searching for illegal stills. The Museum recently acquired an interesting and significant artifact from this era.
