Treasures from the Collection
The Queensland Police Museum aspires to be an accessible and valued museum of national standing that collects and explores Queensland’s policing history. We actively document, collect and preserve the rich depth of history that describes policing in this state since 1859.
Through our collections and exhibitions, we enhance the public image of the Queensland Police Service and foster pride in its achievements in the wider community. The story we tell also describes today’s innovative, progressive and responsive Queensland Police Service. The Police Museum use its resources, exhibitions and public programs to investigate and compare issues faced by police officers of times past and of today.
The Curator will describe some of the more interesting collection items and their associated stories, from the oldest items in the collection to the smallest but most telling objects, to those that illustrate the story of the Kaptajn Nielsen capsize of 1964 and other notable events.
