Phoenix Police Museum
In October 1993, the Phoenix Police Museum started as a small exhibit at the Historic City Hall, 17 S. Second Ave. With the assistance of Cindy Myers from the Phoenix Museum of History, a temporary six-month display was created. The event was enthusiastically received.
The Arizona Humanities Council funded a study of the artifacts to determine if enough material existed to open a small museum and it was determined that there was. Barrister Place was selected as the permanent site of the museum. Through generous donations from Motorola, the area was painted and re-carpeted. Home Depot, Store #455, donated construction material for the creation of exhibit areas. The Police Department provided phones and an alarm system. Volunteers prepared the exhibits including a mock up of a 1910 city street and an old jail cell.
The opening of the first exhibit in the Barrister Place location was on Friday, Oct. 6, 1995.
