Tucked away in Merchant City is this nondescript museum. It's a very compact museum consisting of two rooms. The first and bigger room is all about the history of the police force in Glasgow. There's a lot of reading by the way. Lots of boards with information and little stories over the centuries of the force's existence. For me the best part of this room was the plaque and exhibits commemorating members of the police force who serve in the first or second world war. The second, much smaller room exhibits uniforms from police forces from around the world, plus badges for regional polices forces from around Scotland. Which was really enjoyable as the exhibit were if such high quality. This museum is well hidden away from the main attractions in the city and not an obvious attraction for the average tourist. However, it's definitely worth seeking out.

Very good! Warmly greeted by staff members who gave us a brief description of the displays and how the museum came to be. Its a small museum but very interesting with a great collection of photography, uniforms and equipment used over the years. We were able to find historic links to our local force... again...thanks to the attentiveness of the museums staff.

One of the best experiences in Glasgow ever, it's not very spacious but surprisingly content-heavy, the international police uniform collection is particularly impressive. Staffs are friendly as well as knowledgeable and insightful, appreciated the journey very much.

Brilliant wee museum. The guys were so knowledgeable and entertained us with stories of daring do from over the years. My daughter Samantha is doing a project on the history of uniforms for her university course and the curator, Alastair, went out of his way and spent time to provide her with as much information as he could. Great day out, highly recommended it.

5/ 5

It's a lovely museum. Educational. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. You have a tour guide to show you round and tell you about the police history. There's so many different types of uniform and each tells a story. It's a good day visit for a family.

4/ 5

Must be the smallest museum I was ever in. You don't need to be much of a detective to work out what's in there. I enjoyed my visit, but then I like historical references to the Police, crime and the individuals on both sides of the law who are the contributers to this museum. Definitely worth a visit if you like history and infamous police Investigations.
