Museum offerings
- Daily museum highlight tours, led by our resident law enforcement museum guides, take visitors through the museum’s exhibits, showcasing a handful of artifacts and telling the complex story of American law enforcement.
- Educational workshops are available for group bookings, which include Forensic Pathology 101, CSI Crash Course, and a True Crime Breakout Scavenger Hunt.
- The patrol driving simulator, the only of its kind in the country not housed in a police training academy, along with our decision-making simulator, create a one-of-a-kind experience for visitors, allowing them to step into the shoes of law enforcement.
- Tuesdays and Wednesday are reserved for private group visits so our team can provide you with the exclusive experience of having the museum to yourself.
We want you to have the best experience possible when visiting the National Law Enforcement Museum. Whether we’re welcoming you back, or welcoming you for the first time, we look forward to seeing you soon.
