Explore Coventry’s policing history
Coventry Police Museum History
The Coventry Police Museum first opened in 1957, at Little Park Street, now Coventry Central Police Station. It closed in 2020, but West Midlands Police Museum supported a ‘pop up’ museum as part of Coventry’s UK City of Culture celebrations.
Now the museum has found a new, permanent home, at the Coventry Council House.
It’s staffed by a team of volunteers, many of them are retired Coventry police officers. They’re happy to answer any questions and tell you stories from their service.
We look forward to seeing you there.
