WELCOME |
The Greater Cincinnati Police Museum collects and presents history and artifacts of more than one hundred municipal, county, state, and federal law enforcement agencies who have, for more than two hundred years, served eight contiguous counties of Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky.
Take a step back in time and explore the lives of the men and women who have served. Learn about the development of uniforms, weapons, animal partners, vehicles, and equipment. See how law enforcement has changed over the years and how the region contributed to the American model of policing. At the Wall of Honor, view the pictures of officers who made the ultimate sacrifice. We guarantee you an eye-opening experience. |
