The Phoenix Police Museum is a unique museum detailing the history of the Phoenix Police Department from its 19th-century inception through the present day. The museum, which is located on the first floor of the city's historic City Hall building, was originally opened to the public as a temporary exhibition in 1993 and reopened in its current incarnation two years later. Exhibits on display include an historic jail rock that once held shackled prisoners, an exhibit of Arizona Rangers tools, a mock marshals office replica, and a restored 1919 Model T Police Cruiser. The museum also showcases a special exhibit on the connection between the Phoenix Police and the United States' Miranda Rights amendment, established by the Supreme Court in 1963 following a seminal area police case.
