Sardar Vallabhai Patel Police Museum

Some1 has done a very good job of curating for this museum, but that is the end of the whole project.. Not maintained, none of the police people in the area interested, the autoriksha drivers around the museum does not know that this exists.

Police museum is hard to find in the state as Kerala has one or two of them(don't kniw the exact number). I think it was built under the guidance B.Sandhya IPS. The condition of the museum now, is pathetic. The exhibits are in a very weak condition. The ticket rate is only Rs.3/- for one person. The structure of the building is also weak.

Very well thaught out and designed but very poorly maintained. It was exactly like a haunted house. It can never be called a museum. My family of 4 were the only ones inside the so called MUSEUM while we visited it.
please avoid this and don't waste your time
