Spring is Around the Corner

It is that time of year again when the National Law Enforcement Museum welcomes thousands of students from around the world to experience our one-of-a-kind museum in the heart of Washington D.C. As one of the newest museums in our nation’s capital, we offer an exciting experience to learn about the rich stories of law enforcement officers and how the profession has evolved throughout its history. We achieve this by providing a combination of learning tools from a traditional museum setting where artifacts bring stories to life and through immersive and engaging interactive exhibitions and educational workshops. This combination of learning methodologies has appealed to educators and students who thrive in a hands-on learning environment and who seek a deeper understanding of public safety and the officers who have sworn to protect us. 

Scavenger Hunt at the Museum

Visitors at the National Law Enforcement Museum can act as a detective with the new True Crime Scavenger Hunts! Using interactive exhibits, visitors solve a series of clues to uncover the verdict and legacy of a key case in American law enforcement history. 

The hour-long event is an immersive experience on the last Saturday of each month. Limited tickets are available — save your spot!
