The National Law Enforcement Museum seeks to expand and enrich the relationship shared by law enforcement and the community through educational journeys, immersive exhibits, and insightful, interactive programs.

Come experience the most interactive museum in Washington, DC! With more than 25,000 artifacts in our collection spanning over 300 years of American law enforcement history, we are committed to preserving the history of American law enforcement and sharing the experiences of service and sacrifice for generations to come.

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.
