A stroll through eight hundred years of policing in Berlin: the Police History Collection in Berlin's police headquarters at Platz der Luftbrücke presents fascinating, amusing and curious facts about the history of Berlin's police force.

The permanent exhibition presents police uniforms, weapons and equipment along with implements used in various crimes, documents and photos. More than 50 information boards illustrate Berlin's police history in the context of German history as a whole.

The Police History Collection also includes more than 50 historical police vehicles which are put on display several times a year, including open day at the Berlin police headquarters. The permanent collections are augmented by a number of exhibitions on special topics.
