International Police Museum, Rockaway Beach

Extremely interesting spot. Took a day trip for this and couldn't be more pleased. The Seaside riots exhibit was my favorite.

What a great little stop for some history. The employees were very welcoming and they provided a great treat for the kids. No charge to enter and they offered a challenging scavenger hunt for the children as well. Thank you to the International Police Museum for making a great family stop!

I enjoyed the vintage guns, cuffs, hats, helmets, and badges, and so many other cool items. It's free too. My 10yr old son enjoyed visiting too. There are a few hands on activities for kids. We recommend it.

Enter through the store "Wheeler Treasures." The International Police Museum is in the store itself. The museum itself is rather small, but interesting. There is no admission fee, but bring a few dollars to donate (or donate online). I took a lot of quick photos of the entire museum because I wanted to show my dad, a retired police officer. He might like the history of weapon evolution and what hats police in different countries wore. I don't know if the lady behind the counter was the owner or not, but she was so friendly and kind; I'm used to apologizing for my 2 young sons, but she was so cool and helpful toward them. When they were taking their own fingerprints and studying them under a magnifying glass, she offered an extra magnifying glass so both kids could have one. Then when my youngest son found all of the teddy bears in the museum, he got a free small stuffed animal for finding them all! My kids actually had a good time!

Its free entrance and there isn't much to see in rockaway but this place seems really interesting. The guy is nice and they have a lot of stuff so stop by
