Since 1997, the Seattle Metropolitan Police Museum's mission has to educate the public regarding the vast transitions in history, technology and culture within the Seattle Police Department and King County Sheriff's Office. From 1997-2017, the Police Museum's public educational facility was located in Seattle's historic Pioneer Square and included historic displays, uniforms, photographs, documents, weaponry, police technology, science, transportation, civil unrest, leadership and training. Due to structural and safety concerns, the facility was closed in October, 2017.
