As well as the public open day on Saturdays the museum is also open for special events to appeal to a wide age range including craft workshops, evening talks, monthly toddler classes, group visits and school sessions.
The museum was set up as a charity (charity No.1042055) in 1992 to provide a home for the historical items belonging to Essex Police. They now have over 25,000 items in the collection consisting of objects, photos and paper documents.
Their aim is to preserve the history of Essex Police and expand public knowledge and awareness of the history of our police force by collecting, preserving, and displaying material relevant to the history of Essex Police.
If you have items you think should be in their collection then please contact them about donating them [email protected]
