With cutting-edge interactive exhibitions and state-of-the-art audio/visual programs, the first-ever National Law Enforcement Museum will serve as an important bridge between law enforcement's past and present, between the heroes of yesteryear and those who have followed in their footsteps, and between America's peace officers and the public they serve. The Museum is designed to increase public understanding and support for law enforcement and to promote law enforcement safety in a world-class facility that will add character and depth to the already rich museum community in our nation's capital.
