The New York City Police Museum

The mission of The New York City Police Museum (NYCPM) is to preserve the rich and unique history of the New York City Police Department and the extensive collections of materials relating to its 160 year history.

The Museum accomplishes its mission in a variety of ways:

• Through its family programs and events for New York City school children from the City’s five boroughs, the Museum acts as an educational resource. • Through its collections, exhibits and community outreach programs including public lecture series, internship and volunteer programs, and senior citizen activities, the Museum plays an important role in facilitating communications between the NYPD and the communities it serves. • As the Museum researches, documents and disseminates information about the NYPD, it serves as an important informational resource utilized by a variety of local, national and international constituencies.

In our activities, the Museum strives to honor all men and women who have served in the most prestigious Police Department in the world, the NYPD, and the special place they occupy in New York City's history.
