Queensland Police Museum

On the last Sunday of the month (February to November)join us for our Sunday Stories event. Storytellers , at 11am, are guest speakers sharing their expertise and insights on topics relating to the Queensland Police, historical and contemporary crime and policing. Then in Collection Stories at12:30pm, we invite visitors to join museum staff in the museum for a closer look (and feel!) of some of our collection items not currently on display. Early in each month free tickets are made available for that month's upcoming speaker - this is a free ticketed event.

In 1864 Queensland became the fifth state to gain its own police department and since then policing practice has evolved dramatically. The Queensland Police Museum (QPM) is dedicated to collecting, documenting, preserving and exhibiting the history of policing in this state. The QPM, located on the ground floor of Queensland police headquarters, is open to the public Monday to Thursday and on the last Sunday of the month (Feb-Nov).

The exhibition space incorporates 25 displays illustrating a range of policing themes. Our public programs include an education program and monthly presentations featuring guest speakers from historical and crime-solving fields. The QPM utilises its archival resources, exhibitions and public programs to compare policing of today and of yesterday.
