Very informational. Great displays. Helpful staff. Shows the origins of Miranda Rights. Car, motorcycle, helicopter, etc on display. Pay homage to fallen officers and K9 officers. 9-11 memorial. Dont miss this museum!

I had a really great experience coming here for the first time! Im very grateful that I could witness different pieces of history. My grandpa is a retired lieutenant who served the Phoenix police force, so it was nice to have him as well as my cousin there. Our tour guide, Tammy, was super nice and friendly, and she gave us a lot of good information and let us take a ton of pictures of different artifacts. Mike was also very accommodating towards my grandpa and kept him company, and I appreciated his help getting me in and out of the parking lot. My favorite part of my visit was seeing the old police cars, motorcycles and helicopter, as well as the official documents from the Miranda rights trial. The police memorial was really beautiful and the stained glass paintings were well done.

Small museum, but great people take care of it and also take care of you. I have learned some interesting history of the police department and the Miranda warnings. If you are in Phoenix you will not regret paying a visit. (by the way, its free!)

Small but well-crafted free museum with free parking (limited) in front. Great stuff for kids to do. Interesting facts about Miranda rights, old west law, forensics, etc. My favorite part: Early police women wore a skirt and carried a special leather police purse...loaded with a gun and plenty of ammo!

Interesting bit of history of Phoenix PD. If you get the chance be sure to stop by visit. Totally worth your time!

This little museum is chocked full of history. They have dress up and plenty of picture opportunities. In the space they have a motorcycle, cruiser, and helicopter, the first two you can climb in and on. The volunteers are helpful and knowedgable. AND it is free!

Fairly interesting museum, lots of different areas in the history of the phoenix police department. Section on miranda case was interesting.

Wonderful little museum! The exhibits are laid out chronologically and host a ton of interesting information about the department’s history. There is also a memorial room to honor all of their fallen officers. The staff were so kind and helpful and made my experience amazing. There is also a small gift shop area where you can get some memorabilia to take home with you. Stop by or take a trip here if you can!

It has a tour guide who retired from the force started with Phoenix police in 1974. It is located inside the original police station downtown next door to the Phoenix City Jail (picture captioned location) and exhibits.

Excellent museum with enthusiastic and friendly staff. Our guide Tammy was great. Informative information about the Miranda rights. Good gift shop. Highly recommended.

R.I.P. MY FRIEND MIKE FROM YOUR BROTHERS OF THE OLD 81 SQUAD.

Great place. My kids loved it. Yes its small but has hands on stuff for the kids and the officers are very nice. They shared police history with us and gave us a map for more fun things to do downtown.

The correct address for the museum is 17 South 2nd Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85003. Its on the south side of the Maricopa County Courthouse. If you are downtown, take the time to stop by and see the museum. The staff is friendly and loves chatting with the guests. The museum is set up well, including the first helicopter that PPD owned. I was fortunate enough to have gone on a day one of the first pilots who flew that helicopter was working. So many great stories about the amazing people who wore the Phoenix Police uniform.

Super fun hands on learning. Im pretty sure I had as much fun as my kids and grandchild. Many photo ops you will only find here. Its a great addition to any downtown adventure. An added bonus is its very close to the light rail so you can enjoy the ride and not have to mess with traffic or parking

Amazing place for history of Phoenix P.D.

This is an excellent museum, especially for not costing anything. You can see all sorts of memorabilia, learn about famous Phoenix crimes, and the staff is quite friendly. Thanks Gary and Jenn.

This museum was nice. Interesting things to see. Learned about Miranda rights. Police patches from all over the US. They had a gift shop, too.

Interesting content and freindly staff

The kids loved playing in the police car with their police uniform on! The retired officers were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. We had a great morning!

Must see if in the downtown area. History of the Phoenix police department as well as great gifts for any law enforcement personal in your life.

They even let u pose with the striped shirts and an old school number card, lol. If u want they will also turn the lights on the old school cruiser.

Free museum, lots of interesting info, but fairly small

Wonderful museum, free admission. Covers the history of the Phoenix Police force from territorial times to present. Has a touching memorial to fallen officers as well as a 9/11 memorial.

Its free and its pretty dang cool a must visit

My boys absolutely loved this place! Our tour guide was so kind and it was really cool to see and have him explain some of the different items and equipment that were in the museum. After our guide walked us around my boys got to sit in an old-school police car and on a bike, which was super cool.

Very good experience for children. Staff is very attentive and accommodating.

Very interesting, tiny exhibit. Particularly moved by fallen officers shrine.

Awesome place, Ive walked by it for years and never went in. I was missing out, it was very well done. I never would have guessed they had so much stuff in there, even a helicopter. The staff was great too. Fun place I will go back.

Glad I went.. For adults and kids. Help there was awesome. Would recommend going.

The Phoenix Police museum is a small but interesting place its great for adults and children alike. There are interactive exhibits and instagrammable photo ops. There are police uniforms and inmate stripes for all ages. On a more somber note there is a section of one of the steel beams from the Twin Towers 9/11 terrorist attack and there is also a memorial room with the pictures of all of our fallen Phoenix police officers who have been killed on duty. Overall its a great little museum.

Great place, its a well kept museum. It demonstrates the history of law enforcement in Phoenix. You can learn where the Mirada rights originated. Perhaps the best thing about this museum is the staff. They were all awesome and friendly and welcoming. We had a great experience. Keep up the great work.

Amazing visit. Highly recommend this

Great place to visit. Learn a lot. Kids had a wonderful time. Staff super friendly. Cant be the price. Free. Would recommend to leave a donation. This place needs to stay around.

Small, but interesting museum giving some insight in the history of the police of Phoenix. Former police officers are there to tell you stories and to answer all your questions. Definitely worth a visit!

Great ex cops to hang with. Very cool

Really cool and interesting museum. Free admission. And theres also a memorial to fallen officers and for 9/11. And the volunteers that operate the museum or so knowledgeable!!!

Love this place, lots of history, the care workers are very knowledgeable, was a wonderful place to visit

Great people sharing the history of a great department!

This museum was a bit smaller than I was expecting but every bit as enjoyable! The lady giving us the introduction to our self tour was very informative and friendly. I really enjoyed looking at all the displays and reading the historical information. My girls really enjoyed wearing official police shirts, playing with handcuffs, sitting on the motorcycle and playing in the police car with the lights going. My kids also really enjoyed the 9/11 tribute room where they could also see pictures and read accounts of the Phoenix Police Officers that died in the line of action.

Nice museum. Parking is hard to find. Be prepared to walk.

This is a cool museum! Lots of great history.

Very interesting to see how things were in the past.

Awesome staff, a little pricey on any knickknacks, but overall great visit

Very cool place to check out and learn a bit about Arizona law enforcement’s early days. It’s not a huge space, but they do offer guided tours.

Great place to check out! Its small but still worth the look! Retired officers who volunteer here are great guys and offer lots of knowledge. Took my 16 yr old and my 7 yr old and both had a good time!

Great place to visit and learn history of the Phoenix PD, and its a free museum.

Its free and the staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. Dont forget to make a donation or grab something from the gift shop. Prices are very affordable.

If you like cops

A well done overview of the Phoenix Police Departments history. The displays included several opportunities for young people to get into a Police Car and Motorcycle and other interactive activities. The museum also had a very nice gift shop with moderately prices souvenirs for both young and old.

A great visual history of the Phoenix Police Department and the evolution of law enforcement. The history of Miranda is as profound as it is valuable.

Its a nice museum not just for children but for an adult too. I like interactive in the museum.

My kids loved this museum. Its full of police history with great retired policemen

Great history for the whole family.

Retired police officers live sharing their experiences here!

Great, brings back a lot of memories keep up the great work guys and girls...

Its not that interesting but its always good to know new things

Interesting and fun exhibits

Its cool and its free so I loved it

Very nice police museum.

Very cool museum, and the staff are super nice! You will be able to sit in a police car and on a police bike.

The marnda exhibit was the highlight of my day. Lots of history and very interesting items on display

Great lil museum! Staff is polite!

A Gem. Spent about 45mins here with the kids who loved being able to roleplay in the police car from the 80s, and try on police shirts. Its a small museum, admission by donation. There is a tribute to the fallen servicemen and women in 9/11. Souvenir selection. Parking is metered street parking right out front. The parking right in front seems to be for volunteer s only, plus theres no way to get in the lot without a security card. The museum have kids a little bag with a colouring book and sticker. Note theres an old location in a closed building so if your GPS is outdated like ours and leads you to that one, the current location is only a block away.

Best (only) I have ever been too. interesting little-known place downtown and free

A great place to take the kids all ages to see what a Police Men had to work with an take Photos in a Real Police Shirt

NOT a safe place.Bewarned this is NOT a GLSEN Safe Space, HRC Safe Zone or even an ally to the LGBT community.Its a small museum staffed entirely by retired police officers. We encountered retired officer Gary. He was very informative and personable.Unfortunately, a woman, either another staff member or merely a patron, came into the museum to swap stories on how disgusted she was about gays and how they are everywhere. The staff did nothing to deescalate her bigoted remarks, but instead complicity stood in agreement.My husband confronted her as we walked out and thanked Gary for his time.

Small but enough info about history of law enforcement in AZ. Exhibit on Miranda Rights was interesting. Memorial exhibit is nice.

So much history. Thank you so much for pitting this together

What a great museum small but great.

Very good job. Hi to all. Mv was and is the best precinct.

Great information!

Great staff and a nice way to preserve Phoenix Police history. If youre lucky, you may even run into Detective Carroll Cooley who arrested Ernesto Miranda.

Neat, especially Miranda exhibit.

Interesting and free museum!friendly volunteers

Amazing!

Small space packed with history and cool artifacts from the Phoenix PD.

This is a little known gem in the heart of Phoenix. The staff is wonderful and the kids love going here.
