Calcutta Police Museum - Museum in Kolkata - Kolkata, India

A small but well maintained museum exhibiting items related to the police and policing in Calcutta (now called Kolkata). Their firearms gallery is very interesting as is the gallery on the epaulettes, letter and exhibits related to crime and solving of the same. They have the shell of a bomb dropped on the city by the Japanese during WW2 and have a section for archives where a lot of once classified files and documents are exhibited. Researchers may access the same with due permission. One thing I would like to highlight is the extremely friendly and polite behaviour of all the staff we encountered. Be it the policeman at the gate to the gentleman guiding us or the gentleman in the office, it was a pleasure dealing with them. Entry is free. Another plus from a historical point of view is that this was where Raja Rammohun Roy spent 16 years of his life - this property was his house.

Kolkata Police Museum is a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts and anyone interested in the city's law enforcement. The museum showcases a rich collection of artifacts, vintage weaponry, and historical documents, offering a fascinating insight into the evolution of Kolkata's police force. With its informative exhibits and engaging displays, the museum provides a unique and educational experience for visitors.
