CITY OF HOUSTON
HOUSTON POLICE MUSEUM

The Houston Police Museum is a replacement and relocation of the existing Museum at the HPD Academy Building.  The intent of moving the Museum to 1200 Travis is the give is greater visibility to the general public at its new location at, as well to update the display areas to provide a more modern appearance. The Museum will house 3,050 square feet of exhibition space, including a retired helicopter suspended from the ceiling. The exterior glazing that surrounds the exhibition area will be wrapped in a protective film that will shield the delicate, historical items on display, as well as provide a large visible graphic of the Museum’s location.  The Chief’s Media Room, where the Chief of Police gives press conferences to the television and newspaper media will also receive an update in keeping with the appearance of the Museum.

The most important aspect of the Museum will be to house the Department’s Wall of Honor, a dedicated area for the display of badges of officers who have fallen in the line of duty.  This space will serve as a monument to the brave men and women of Houston’s law enforcement community, as well as to educate the public about the service and duty of those officers have provided.
