Museum of Policing in Devon & Cornwall
All of us will have come into contact with policing at some point in our lives, for good or ill, and the stories of these encounters reveal who we are – and who we were - as people and as a society. The Museum of Policing in Devon & Cornwall records, investigates, challenges, and celebrates the unique history of policing in the southwest. It preserves and examines the legacy of the past with pride – but also with humility.
