15 Years of the Police Museum

In 2006, the police administration decided to take a detailed look at its own history. The first pieces in the current collection were brought together at police headquarters in Luxembourg-Verlorenkost as early as 2007. In 2010, an association was founded and given the task of managing and continuously expanding the police-history collection. The aim of this association is to make the numerous items and exhibits accessible and to convey their significance in a way that makes them really come alive.

The museum, which is currently located in Capellen, invites visitors on a journey through the history of the police, with fascinating insights from the active or retired police officers who provide guided tours. Behind almost every uniform cap, every document, every weapon and every technical device, there lies a fascinating story. The association places particular emphasis not just on getting the general public interested in police history, but also on appealing to both police officers and prospective members of the force. Visitors have the opportunity to discover the many different facets of the profession up close, including the painful and traumatic moments that can come with it.
