About Pennsylvania State Police Museum

The Pennsylvania State Police Historical, Educational and Memorial Center tells the story of the Pennsylvania State Police, the first uniformed state constabulary in the country. Exhibits cover famous crimes, the police rodeo, what it takes to become a trooper and significant events. Self-guided visits need no reservation, and guided tours of the museum and the Police Training Academy can be arranged by phone. It is open Monday to Friday 9am to 4pm and Saturday 10am to 3pm, and the tourism bureau notes that construction means the entrance is reached from Swatara Road.
