Great museum with lots of well presented exhibits and very knowledgeable volunteer staff. Interactive exhibits if you have kids which is nice. Reasonably priced gift shop is also there.

Pretty compact yet informative Museum. Staff were helpful and gave a good starter narrative. We enjoyed going through the exhibits with some interactive components.

There was a memorial also included within.

Pretty impressive I must say.

Volunteers were helpful, enjoyed this. It is hard to find, had to ask someone in the courthouse for help and they had forgotten to bring in the closed sign.

Very informational. Great displays. Helpful staff. Shows the origins of Miranda Rights. Car, motorcycle, helicopter, etc on display. Pay homage to fallen officers and K9 officers. 9-11 memorial. Don't miss this museum!

Small museum, but great people take care of it and also take care of you. I have learned some interesting history of the police department and the Miranda warnings. If you are in Phoenix you will not regret paying a visit. (by the way, it's free!)

I had a really great experience coming here for the first time! I'm very grateful that I could witness different pieces of history. My grandpa is a retired lieutenant who served the Phoenix police force, so it was nice to have him as well as my cousin there. Our tour guide, Tammy, was super nice and friendly, and she gave us a lot of good information and let us take a ton of pictures of different artifacts. Mike was also very accommodating towards my grandpa and kept him company, and I appreciated his help getting me in and out of the parking lot. My favorite part of my visit was seeing the old police cars, motorcycles and helicopter, as well as the official documents from the Miranda rights trial. The police memorial was really beautiful and the stained glass paintings were well done.

The correct address for the museum is 17 South 2nd Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85003. Its on the south side of the Maricopa County Courthouse. If you are downtown, take the time to stop by and see the museum. The staff is friendly and loves chatting with the guests. The museum is set up well, including the first helicopter that PPD owned. I was fortunate enough to have gone on a day one of the first pilots who flew that helicopter was working. So many great stories about the amazing people who wore the Phoenix Police uniform.
