New York City Police Museum
Museums / Galleries, Lower Manhattan
Fodor's Review:
Why are police called cops? Why does a police badge have eight points? When was fingerprinting first used to solve a crime? Find the answers at this museum dedicated to New York's finest. The force's history from colonial times through the present is covered through permanent and rotating exhibits, as well as interactive and sometimes chilling displays, including fingerprinting and forensic art stations. A permanent exhibit, "9/11 Remembered," includes a video with interviews with those who were first responders to the attack. The Hall of Heroes honors police officers who have fallen in the line of duty. Special events include a vintage police car show the first weekend in June, and the first Saturday in October, when kids get to meet police officers and demonstrations take place.
