The Cleveland Police Museum was the vision of Cleveland detective Robert Bolton, who formed the Cleveland Police Historical Society in 1983 following a visit to London, England's Scotland Yard Black Museum. The museum is open to the public on Wednesday and Thursday mornings and afternoons, with the exception of days that the Cleveland Municipal School District is closed, offering free admission for all visitors. Since its inception, the museum has grown to encompass more than 4,000 square feet of exhibit space, highlighting the evolution of Charlotte's police system and the relationship between law enforcement and the public. Group tours are also available for small groups and organizations by appointment with advance reservation.
