There is no admission fee, however, a donation is much appreciated. There is also a small selection of items to purchase which will help them,

Take your time, we spent an hour plus and the individuals at the entrance were very polite,friendly and extremely helpful.

This well worth your time. read less

The museum is a significant reminder of the history of Phoenix, the foundation of the Phoenix Police Department, and overall history lesson of the origin, uniforms, weapons and vehicles used. I made a planned stop here after hearing they had reopened. I was greeted by a very kind man named Ken. He is an encyclopedia of information, and this comes from front line experience. He gave a guided tour and for every section that had a small description of the artifact, he added more information. Instead of a slice, we got the whole pizza. I highly recommend the museum. There's a lot to learn and the staff is kind. It doesn't take too much time to see it. I'd like to point out there's a beautiful memorial that has photos and short descriptions of those who have lost their lives in the line of duty. Canine Officers too. I looked at every photo, and read every description. I saw the same thing in every photo. I saw honor, sacrifice, and understanding. I saw courage, purpose, passion and a fearless brotherhood of protection, no matter the cost. I am humbled, honored, and thankful for these heroes, our modern day guardian Angels. Sad for their passing, thankful for their existence and selfless devotion to our city. Thank you to the Phoenix Police Department. From those who made the ultimate sacrifice, to those active duty and those retired. read less

It is also a short walk from Chase Field. The entrance might be hard to spot initially but just follow the signs on the street. Parking can be limited so you may walk a few blocks. Very informative going back to the 1800s. Not very interactive but a lot of neat artifacts. read less

The Miranda case is famous so now I know why. I found the CSI display case very interesting. This is behind the scenes work but vitally important.

The Fallen Comrades room is very emotional. We hope no more names are added in 2020.

It's free but please give a donation. read less

The exhibits are well laid out in chronological order and are in very good condition. Many are not even protected behind glass - but folks shouldn't touch anyway. Informative explanations abounded. Ah yes- the Miranda case was brought to bear by the PD and its history is explained. I was told the original arresting office still volunteers there. read less

The Police museum is staffed by former officers or civilian employees of the department, and were very helpful in explaining the displays. The memorial for fallen officers was quite emotional.
