Cyprus Police Museum, Police museum in Aglangia, Cyprus
The Cyprus Police Museum is housed in a former British colonial building located next to Police Headquarters in Aglangia. It displays artifacts and exhibits related to law enforcement history, including items recovered during important criminal investigations.
The museum was founded in 1933 during British colonial rule as a Criminal Museum to collect items from significant cases. It has continued to grow and document Cyprus policing history since the island became independent.
The museum documents how policing evolved in Cyprus after the island gained independence from British rule. The exhibits show how law enforcement work changed and adapted over time.
The museum occupies a former police residence on Archbishop Kyprianou Avenue in Aglantzia, next to the Police Headquarters. It is open Monday to Friday from 09:00 to 13:00, and admission is free. The building was specially transformed and enlarged for the museum in 2003.
The museum holds instruments of the Police Band alongside police vehicles, uniforms and arms. Its crime section keeps weapons, photographs and records from serious cases that shook Cypriot society, plus material on notorious outlaws and on how crime detection developed on the island.
